In general, implicit bias is a problem that is everywhere, and it can be a barrier to our success in life. It can be a challenge to identify and address the bias, and it can be harder to overcome the bias than it is to notice it in the first place.
There are ways to address implicit bias, and they can include:
1. Understand the bias
It can be difficult to see the bias, and it can be harder to change the way we think about certain groups of people.
2. Talk to friends and family
Talking to friends and family can be a great way to discuss the bias and see if there are any ways that we can help each other be successful.
3. Take action
It can be difficult to fight against the bias, and it can be easier to take action and try to change the way we think about certain groups of people.
There are many ways to overcome implicit bias, and each individual has to find the way that works best for them. However, the key is to try to understand the bias and to take action to address it.
