Understanding our biases and assumptions

Description

This program deals with the nature of biases and preconceptions, pointing out that almost everyone sees the world from his or her own perspective and stressing the need to examine one's own thinking about "us" and "them. It covers the subjects of being "in" and "out" and the role of peer groups, community institutions, schools, and the media in determining what is "good" and "bad"; permits members of minorities to speak out about how bias affects their lives; and challenges viewers to examine their own biases and overcome them.
