Implicit bias: People view other cultures as abnormal since it's not aligned with their own
culture.

same social group as themselves.
Decline bias: Type of bias usually affected by comparison of the past, which tends to lead to
poor decisions in the present compared to the past.
Self-serving: Kind of bias whereby circumstances take the blame for every bad situation that
comes instead of having personal accountability.
Cognitive or confirmation bias: bias that tends to go with what we believe in and seek out
information based on beliefs.
Define five types of fallacies.
Red Herring Fallacy: in this, an irrelevant issue is raised and imposed to have solved an original
problem
Strawman fallacy: For this fallacy, an individual misstates another individual's opinions and
goes after the weakened version instead stick to the relevant version of the argument.
The Ad Hominem Fallacy: To reject the argument, the person is attacked instead of verifying
their opinions.
