What is biased?

Biased means favoring one thing over another without a good reason.

Imagine you have two cookies, one chocolate chip and one oatmeal raisin. If you always pick the chocolate chip cookie, even though both are tasty, that's biased. You're picking one just because you like it more, not because it’s better in every way.

Let’s say your friend always picks the same team to win a game, even when the other team has played much better. That's bias too! It's like wearing sunglasses that make everything look blue, you're seeing things through a lens, not clearly.

Sometimes, we’re biased because of what we’ve seen before or what we like. It’s like always choosing your favorite toy to play with, even if there are other toys that might be more fun right now.

Bias isn’t bad, it just means you're giving extra attention to something you already know and love.
