Bias
Showing a particular tendency or preference towards one idea over another
Bias occurs on a spectrum:– Unbiased: authors explains both points of view– Somewhat biased: author explains both points of
view but shows how one side is better than the other
– Biased: author only shows one side of an argument
The best writing is somewhat biased– addresses both sides of an argument but uses
evidence to show that one side is valid (or right)
