//A Black and White World//

 

//A Black and White World//

A world made of hate, a world of love. Sin and hatred, Happiness and joy. Two worlds in one mind.

      

Artist notes:

The story behind the pictures and the story tell my out look on the rest of the world. It talks about how I see the outside world as a place that thrives off negative emotions. It’s a place where men and women fight over pointless conflict. Where wars ravage the world and destroy its natural wonders. Most humans annoy me for doing stupid things such as picking fights for no reasons, pretending they own the world and can do whatever they want. It infuriates me to large extents. The reason for four pictures is to just show off my dogs.

The flip side to this is I enjoy the comfort of animals and some humans whom I can get along with. With animals they can be loving and playful. They know when you ae down and try to cheer you up. They are good companions who will see things through to the end. The other representation you could get from the collogue with that it shows me when I’m happy.

Reflection

In the last 8 weeks I have learned much about both bias and personality. In my opinion I think I have learned more about bias then personality looking back at such activities as “Growing up trans” and taking a bias test. In these videos they talk about different biases but shows a general picture of what a bias is. I have come to believe that bias is the term used when someone excludes another person or calls them out for something like their skin color, heritage, conditions, etc. I think a new form of bias I learned is that people can be bias to things such as personality and attitudes as well.

In the video “Growing Up Trans”, Bias is very prevalent. Through out the video it talks about how these kids must live their lives feeling left out from the group due to them not fitting in with either genders completely. While a trans girl was interviewing with her friends the friends pointed this out saying, “Its hard to include her in somethings such as when the girls are changing, it made her uncomfortable.” She also went on to state she felt bad having to exclude her from the group. Another instant of bias was with a Trans boy where he was harassed because he wanted to change from a boy to a girl. He was even cornered and put down about it being called names like “dike and bitch. This shows how the world is field with bias people who go against those who are different or those who change.

I myself had to take a test on bias to see where I landed in the spectrum of being bias. I am happy to say that I am not bias. I think this is due in part to my mother who taught me not to distinguish people from their attributes rather than their personality. I think this class has made me think about the topic a bit more but other than that I think I’m not bias and give people a fair chance most of the time if they show others respect as they would want. I know this sounds a bit bias but I don’t try to be.
