Biased vs Unbiased
• Biased - prejudice in favor of or against one
thing, person, or group compared with
another, usually in a way considered to be
unfair.
• Unbiased – not having any bias.
• Both primary and secondary sources can be
biased, it is up to us to determine whether
they are or not… IT IS NEVER GOOD TO
ACCEPT EVERYTHING YOU HEAR AS FACT!!!
Ways to Check For Bias
• 1.) Analyze the source at the top of the
document – might that person have ulterior
motives in creating the information they are
giving?
• Ask yourself these questions:
–
–
–
–
1.) Who wrote this?
2.) What is the author’s point of view?
3.) Why was it written?
4.) When was it written – a long time or short time
after the event?
– 5.) Is this source believable? Why or why not?
