Cultural Bias In Assessment In the society of today, there are various educators who believe in assessment as proper method to measure the performance of a child in school as well as the overall achievement of a specific school system. The assessment may be presented in the form of verbal, written, or multiple choice, and it usually pertains to certain academic subjects in the school curriculum. Recently, many educators began to issue standardized tests to measure the intelligence of a common
9/26/2017 1. Cultural bias is the phenomenon of interpreting and judging phenomena by standards inherent to one. Personal preference is liking one thing or one person better than others. Ethnocentricity is evaluating other peoples and cultures according to the standards of one's own culture. Cultural relativism is the principle that people should not judge the behavior of others using the standards of their own culture, and that each culture must be analyzed on its own terms. 2. a.

Racial and Cultural Test Bias, Stereotype Threat and Their Implications A substantial amount of educational and psychological research has consistently demonstrated that African American students underperform academically relative to White students. For example, they tend to receive lower grades in school (e.g., Demo & Parker, 1987; Simmons, Brown, Bush, & Blyth, 1978), score lower on standardized tests of intellectual ability (e.g., Bachman, 1970; Herring, 1989; Reyes & Stanic, 1988; Simmons
caused by cultural bias (Klenowski 2009, Bernhard 2000, Schellenberg 2004, and Laros & Tellegen 2004); although developmental factors are also taken into consideration by others (McCauley 2004). The following will; compare studies and highlight issues that are likely to induce cultural bias in the outcomes. The latter section of essay will point out any other factor to be taken into
always wondered if there were to be a way to use as test that could measure ones intelligence and not show any cultural bias. The truth is that creating one of these standardized tests can be quite difficult to accomplish with no cultural bias. One major reason for this is that language in itself is a cultural barrier for many. By doing some intelligence tests which make non-mainstream cultural assumptions, students can come to experience some of the difficulties and issues involved with culturally biased
Bias in simple words means a person’s likelihood to favor one over another. Bias can be conscious and non-conscious. It can also be positive or negative (Ryan & Saha, 2011). I believe that I am biased about how the younger generation perceive things, their beliefs and values compared to the older generation. Thus, whenever I see there is a conflict between older and younger generation, I tend to blame it as generation gap and overlook my biasedness. I was born and raised in Nepal, a country where
Cultural bias is when an individual or group of people judge someone else based upon what is fundamental in his or her own culture. That being said we all are bias to certain groups of people or races. I am not saying that this is necessarily the right or wrong thing. However when people develop theories or categorize groups of people only based upon their cultural bias that is when it becomes immoral. As I was reading the book “Mistaking Africa” I began to learn more about my own cultural biases

The article shows bias in the tone it is written, the unkindness used to mock the French and the incomplete tales of the battles that took place. The writings of Al-Jabarti show significance cultural bias in many forms, first being the way in which he describes the French. Al-Jabarti describes the French as

of which have a profound effect on the influence of evidence in making truth claims. It may be said in some cases that this bias distorts the validity of some truth claims, while having little to no effect upon others. However, it can clearly be recognized that the relationship between an authors assertions of truth and their evidence bases is directly dependent on the bias that they carry before they even begin their work. How much of an effect is up to the author, and how far they are willing to

Moreover, after living in the fake world adults created for a long time, teenagers become indifferent about everything. In the music video, teenagers were all expressionless after they just rushed into the room to listen to the singer’s words. These expressionless faces clearly expose the bad influences of those oppressions on teenagers. Under the oppression, teenagers do not have their own emotions and characteristics. They are more like machines that just run following the rules adults set up.

Introduction—Media does contain bias in its message In a culture whose economic and social well-being is directly proportionate to the news of the moment, the purveyors of the media outlets and their mediums are uniquely responsible for ’getting it right’. Unfortunately, ‘right’ is subjective to who is giving and who is getting. This subjectivity is reflective of personal bias’, individual intent, beliefs and agendas. While it may not always be intentional as such, bias is always present, not so much
Bias Influences the Audience in Chinua Achebe and Ridley Scott's Writing Chinua Achebe and Ridley Scott reflect different cultural eras and use bias to influence their audience onto their side. Chinua Achebe uses bias towards the Ibo culture that loses in history and that we never saw as being important using biographical and historical stylistic devices. Ridley Scott shows bias towards the American soldiers using historical stylistic devices leaving out how the Somalia's felt during this time
“I believe that reading chapter 1-6 I learned the importance of difference. Everyone is different, our individuality is most important. So as we learn about cultural identity, worldviews, race, ethnicity and age we must realize all of these components are small parts of a person’s individuality. I believe educating oneself on their client is most a beneficial requirement .I would most definitely have a complete
intersect over a thirty-six hour period. The film lays bare America’s dirty laundry and paints a more complicated picture of the multi-cultural society we live. It tackles themes such as racism, xenophobia, ethnocentrism, sexism and income disparity. What I like about this film is that it covers the issue of prejudice from multiple perspectives. Each character’s bias is exposed in their interactions with different characters. While it does not offer a sanguine depiction of American society, it’s provides

The process of recognizing this fear, becoming knowledgeable, and culturally aware, is the ideal for individuals moving towards cultural competence, However; for those who are able to move past these prejudices, other biases await them. The well-meaning who overcompensate by solicitous and over protecting behaviors may be just as harmful as those whose bias creates prejudice.
