People tend to feel at ease when they see information that aligns with what they want to believe. On the other hand, I sometimes feel a little uncomfortable when I see different opinions. There are many chances to run into information outside school too, especially while doing research, preparing presentations, or watching videos and social media.
When you only collect information that feels convenient or comforting, your view can become narrow without you noticing.
Everyone has a bias
This is nothing special and happens to everyone. However, if you leave it as it is, the view will become narrower.
If you think that all ideas that differ from yours are wrong, you may miss the truth.
See some different opinions
You don't have to believe everything the same way. However, if you learn even a little bit about another perspective, it becomes easier to confirm your own thoughts.
Smart children don't make decisions based only on what they want to hear.
Read only one opinion that differs from your own.
At Digital Kodomo BASE, we value not only gathering information, but also the ability to notice bias. It's easier to judge when you look at it broadly.
