I agree with Nisbett that we can train our minds to be less biased in our judgment as I agree with Kahneman point that there will always be some form of bias but to believe that our tendency are hard-wired never to change no matter how hard we try is where I disagree with Kahneman.

I believe that people who think that they are different from other people fall under the concept of the "main character syndrome," in which humans desire to be recognized and validated, leading to a self-centered point of view. Yet, many people either live or experience similar lifestyles to these people.

I found it strange that people were shocked that the video game has a more significant effect on reducing bias. The idea of implementing what you learn to actual-world situations has been drilled into our minds as we progress into higher education. By seeing examples and understanding the problems that have been mirrored in the real world and video games, people should be able to understand the following steps to see the issue in a non-objective way

I firmly believe that civic participation means coming together as a community to help or address issues in our community. Actions such as voting are viable to change and have some say in political decision-making; we need to vote. By addressing misinformation and global warming issues and improving the COVID-19 responses for waves, we can ensure that our democracy continues while being stable.

The existence of anti-science bias in the United States, while it seems to be a new occurrence, has been prevalent for the past few decades, yet often they were the minority; however, with the COVID-19 and social media, the voices of the minority has been amplified to a new level. With a platform and an administrative figure such as our president and congress representatives that firmly support anti-science, the minority has evolved to become the majority, with new cases occurring every day with more senseless deaths.

From the looming fear of COVID-19 and the restrictions implemented by the government, businesses were forced to either limit or temporarily closed their establishments which largely impacted the economy. I remember that the stock market experience a devastating crash where people would either sell before it reached its lowest part or bought stocks at their lowest.
