I once again agree with the highlighted statement, because in my opinion, in order to eliminate bias within our own minds, we must understand others thoughts and be very open minded to learn and appreciate other peoples viewpoints because this ultimately improves our writing as a whole.

I couldn't agree more with this highlighted statement. The first step to identifying bias in writing is determining and becoming more aware on what our personal biases and opinions may be, and how they influence our thoughts when reading.

This list, includes many different variables when reading that may influence bias on our minds. By identifying these, we become more open minded and aware of the context authors use that tend to show more bias.

I agree with the highlighted statement because from personal experience, I think as humans, we are so blind to bias and tend to side with things that agree with our views, no matter the context. We just don't tend to realize the bias right in front of us.
