Lesson Overview

22.42 – Recognizing Systemic vs. Personal Bias: Bias can appear both in individuals and systems, and understanding the difference sharpens your awareness. Personal bias comes from opinions or stereotypes people hold. Systemic bias lives in structures—like school policies or hiring practices—that unfairly favor some while excluding others. Recognizing both helps you respond effectively: conversation may fix the first, but reform is needed for the second. Don’t confuse silence for acceptance—education begins when you ask questions like “Who benefits?” and “Who’s missing?” You become part of meaningful change by combining empathy with critical thinking. Awareness isn’t just about noticing unfairness; it’s about seeing patterns and using your influence to shift them toward equity.
