\u201cSo God created humans in his image, in the image of God he created them, male and female he created them.\u201d (Genesis 1:27 NRSV). \u201cThen afterward I will pour out my spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.\u201d (Joel 2:28 NRSV) \u201cAnd he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth\u2026\u201d (Acts 17:26 NRSV). These are just a few scriptures which show the inclusivity of God towards humanity.\u00a0 The activity of God moves not with seeking to differentiate or place a certain group of people in higher regard than others.\u00a0 Instead, the Creator of All creates a rhythm to include diversity of gender, ethnicities, and ages.\u00a0 If God created the world with no partiality, then why are we, as the created humanity, so biased as a people?<\/p>\n

No one would say of themselves that they have biases.\u00a0 No one would like to admit the \u201cisms\u201d that plague our society reside within themselves. The reality is most people, whether they acknowledge it or not, have some level of bias.\u00a0 Many may not realize it until they are put into a situation where they are confronted with it.\u00a0 There are a variety of bias.\u00a0 There is gender bias or sexism, racial bias or racism, and ageism just to name a few.<\/p>\n
Who Are You Calling Biased?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWhat is a Bias?<\/h3>\n****
According to Psychology Today<\/a>, a bias is a tendency, inclination, or prejudice toward or against something or someone.\u00a0 Bias is often characterized as stereotypes about people based on the group to which they belong and\/or based on an immutable physical characteristic they possess such as their gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.<\/p>\n
Implicit vs. Explicit<\/h3>\n****
** ****Bias can be characterized as either implicit or explicit:<\/p>\n\nExplicit:\u00a0 A bias one is consciously aware of, and that one must admit to themselves and potentially others.<\/li>\nImplicit:\u00a0 Implicit bias<\/a>, also known as implicit prejudice or implicit attitude, is a negative attitude, of which one is not consciously aware, against a specific social group.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nWhere Does Our Biases Come From?<\/h3>\n******
** ******If we say everyone has a bias, the next question becomes where does the bias come from?\u00a0 What caused the bias to be a perspective from which we judge or make decisions?\u00a0 Biases evolve based on personal experiences, religious ideologies, or learned from our personal environments.\u00a0 Biases are often learned and are highly dependent on variables like a person\u2019s socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, educational background, etc.<\/p>\nSome biases can be learned based on where we reside.\u00a0 For example, in the South, known as the \u201cbible belt<\/a>\u201d, we may see more biases towards those who may be in the LGBTQIA+ community.\u00a0 Or those who come from wealthier backgrounds may have biases towards those who live in lower income communities.\u00a0 Those who come from more traditional, patriarchal backgrounds may have biases towards women in positions of power.\u00a0 If we are not careful to become aware of the biases we may have and investigate where they come from within our own histories \u2013 individually and communally, we can be harmful to others unknowingly.<\/p>\n
Diversity and Equality<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nTypes of Biases<\/h3>\n******
** ******In our society we are inundated with a variety of biases towards different sections of society.<\/p>\nSexism or Gender Biased<\/h4>\n
According to a recent UN report<\/a>, half of people globally still believe men make better political leaders than women.\u00a0 More than 40% of respondents believe men make better executives than women.\u00a0 25% believe it is justified for a man to beat his wife.\u00a0 In 2023, around the globe, views are held which seek to limit the agency and advancement of women in society.<\/p>\n
The encyclopedia Britannica defines sexism<\/a> as prejudice or discrimination based on sex or gender, especially against women and girls.\u00a0 Sexism can be a belief that one sex is superior to or more valuable than another one.\u00a0 Because of sexism, around the world women are fighting for equality from equal pay to medical treatment.\u00a0 In October 2023, in Iceland, schools, banks and shops closed as women, including the prime minister, protested to end unequal pay and end gender-based violence.\u00a0 In the US, with the overturning of Roe v. Wade, women are fighting to have their voices heard, to own their healthcare decisions and rights over their own bodies.<\/p>\n
Sexism or Gender Biased.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n********
** In 2022, women earned an average of 82% of what men earned.\u00a0 There has not been much change in the last 20 years.\u00a0 In 2002, the pay gap was women earned 80% as much as men.\u00a0 In the U.S. women who work full time, year-round are paid an average of 83.7% as much as men, which amounts to a difference of $10000 per year.\u00a0 Women are much more likely than men (61% vs 37%) to say a major reason for the gap is that employers treat women differently.\u00a0 Men are more likely than women to be a boss or a top manager where they work (28% vs 21%).<\/p>\n
** ********When women are excluded from the table of equal pay or equal positions, we deny the abilities which reside in them.\u00a0 We allow the traditional stereotypes of women being weaker or their purpose only to marry, have children and care for the home, to keep them excluded from equal opportunities in society.\u00a0 If we believe the biblical text stating that women, just like men, are created in the image of God, then we cannot deny the divine abilities within each gender.\u00a0 If we believe in the text, then we would not seek to deny a seat at the table for someone based on gender.<\/p>\nRacism or Racially Biased<\/h4>\n
Definitions are important to understanding what certain biases are.\u00a0 The National Institute of Health<\/a> defines racism as one group having the power to carry out systematic discrimination through the institutional policies and practices of the society and by shaping the cultural beliefs and values that support those racist policies and practices.<\/p>\n
The American Public Health Association defines racism as a system of structuring opportunity and assigning value based on the social interpretation of how one looks (which is what we call \u2018race\u2019) that:<\/p>\n
\nUnfairly disadvantages some individuals and communities.<\/li>\nUnfairly advantages other individuals and communities.<\/li>\nSaps the strength of the whole society through the waste of human resources.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n**********
** **********Over the summer of 2020, in the US, we saw the increase in racial discrimination take center stage when the world witnessed the death of George Floyd.\u00a0 As protests erupted across the globe, attention was being brought to a subject many would like to avoid.\u00a0 A Pew Research Center survey states 53% of respondents said people not seeing racial discrimination where it really exists is the bigger problem.\u00a0 88% of black adults say people overlooking discrimination is the bigger problem.<\/p>\n
Racism \u2013 Death of George Floyd.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
People of color face deeper scrutiny and feel less safe in communities and work environments because of the issue of racism.\u00a0 While some people would say racism is no longer a problem in our society, racism permeates every facet of society, including the workplace.\u00a0 As of 2022, only six Fortune 500 companies have black CEOs<\/a>.\u00a0 In 2021, the overall income for Black Americans was 49% lower than for whites.\u00a0 Additionally, in 2021, the typical Black woman earned 63% of what the typical white man made.<\/p>\n
What is communicated when people of color hold fewer positions and earn less pay than their white colleagues is they are not wanted and\/or valued within the various organizations.\u00a0 To change the landscape of the work environment, people need to be hired and promoted based on talent and not based on race.\u00a0 Intentionality must be brought to the table to ensure a diverse workforce is in place and equitable pay is instituted regardless of race.<\/p>\n
Ageism or Biased Based on Age<\/h4>\n************
** ************One of the growing \u201cisms\u201d in society is the bias based on age.\u00a0 According to the APA, \u201cageism is one of the last socially acceptable prejudices\u201d.\u00a0 Ageism is defined as discrimination against older people because of negative and inaccurate stereotypes.\u00a0 As society continues to advance from a technological standpoint, more and more seasoned employees are finding it difficult to find or remain in positions as they age.\u00a0 Organizations would prefer to hire younger staff as it is assumed an older worker is a less experienced worker as it relates to technology.<\/p>\n"
According to the APA, \u201cageism is one of the last socially acceptable prejudices\u201d.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n************
** According to an Axios report, one in four of America\u2019s workers are 55 and older.\u00a0 Due to age, older workers are experiencing longer job searches and increased financial issues as they seek employment.\u00a0 More than 40% of workers over the age of 40 say they\u2019ve experienced age discrimination at work in the last three years, according to an AARP study.<\/p>\n
** ************While some environments would not admit age discrimination is practiced within their organizations, it is a growing challenge.\u00a0 Per Zip Recruiter data, employers admit that they\u2019re looking for younger talent.\u00a0 47% say they are worried about older job seekers\u2019 technological skills.\u00a0 25% said they would pick a 30-year-old over a 60-year-old, even if both had equitable skills.\u00a0 The premise being, the younger worker is more likely to learn faster, be more technologically astute and be more agreeable within the work environment.<\/p>\n
Bias \u2013 Ageism.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n*************
** *************When organizations intentionally seek to drive out experienced workers or not hire those who may be older, they are leaving themselves vulnerable to creating a workplace void of experience.\u00a0 Those who may be older come with a wealth of, not only hard skills but soft skills, which may not yet be matured in a younger workforce.\u00a0 Additionally, the potential exists to miss out on workers who are seeking to settle into a career versus those who are seeking the next opportunity and may only stay temporarily while waiting on said opportunity.\u00a0 There is value to what those who are overlooked and left out bring to the present work environment.<\/p>\nFacing the Facts<\/h3>\n***************
** ***************Whether it is gender, age, race or sexual orientation, biases are an action of discrimination or prejudice based on a mindset.\u00a0 It is a behavior which seeks to marginalize and ostracize persons based on a limited understanding of the other.\u00a0 It is an othering of people rather than welcoming them into community.<\/p>\nWhen we choose to act on our biases, we must ask ourselves, whose rights are we infringing upon based on our preconceived notions?\u00a0 If we claim to be people of faith, then biases cannot lead us to following one of the foundational principles of our faith.\u00a0 Mark 12:31<\/a> says \u201cThe second is this, \u2018You shall love your neighbor as yourself\u2019\u201d.\u00a0 We must see everyone as our neighbor and then choose to love them as we would ourselves.\u00a0 Loving neighbor as we love ourselves means wanting the best for them so they can live the best life possible. Loving neighbor as ourselves means seeing and loving others as equals to us, not inferior to us.<\/p>\n
"
\u201cThe most important one,\u201d<\/span>\u00a0answered Jesus,\u00a0\u201cis this: \u2018Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.\u2019 <\/span><\/span>The second is this: \u2018Love your neighbor as yourself.\u2019 There is no commandment greater than these.\u201d (Mark 12:29-31 NIV)<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Here is an exercise for each of us:\u00a0 The next time we find ourselves thinking or saying something that demonstrates some level of bias, regardless of how small, let us ask ourselves:<\/p>\n
\nWhy do I believe this?<\/li>\nWhere did this thought process generate from?<\/li>\nWould I want someone to think or say this about me?<\/li>\nHow can I embrace this difference rather than allow it to separate me from this person?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n***************
**
** Diversity.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
** If we all would be more aware of our explicit and implicit biases and seek to do the deeper work of rooting them out, we could have better and more diverse communities, schools, and workplaces.\u00a0 We could expand our capacity to welcome and love those whom we usually would shy away from.\u00a0 We could experience a better world that reflects the values that represent our faith.<\/p>\n
