Article title : Can We Really Measure Implicit Bias? Maybe Not

Summary:

This article is about debating on how reliable the Implicit Bias Test is. But first, we will get to know how Implicit Bias Test has been in common among the society. Every human’s creation has made, there is always a group of people who will be for or against. But in this case, a conflict will be made between Hart Blanton and two others expert. Along the text, they will try to justify their point of view on this tool but at the end it will lead to nowhere. 

Reaction: 

For me, I was quite confused along the text because I thought that it wasn’t really clear enough or maybe it was because of the English’s level that the author has used in the article. Moreover, this test didn’t seem to be really reliable because we are just choosing answers as soon quick as we can and sometimes we know the answer but falsely. Honestly, I felt like the author was having a neutral opinion on the measurement, but it seemed also like the author was oriented in the side of the others two expert. 

Questions: 

How can rapidity be a part of the criteria in order to know if we have an implicit bias? 
How can implicit bias have anything to do with changes in a person’s behaviour?
If the test couldn’t predict itself, how will the inventor solve this matter?
Since a person’s score can vary significantly, how the expert will solve this problem? 
If this debate doesn’t lead to anywhere, how should we conclude, will this test measure Implicit Bias or not?

But, you can have a look on their Facebook Page 😊 As I was reading the article, a question came to mind: "Does the author give both sides of the story?"    Is it balanced?    ".    Well, we can see that the article only provides the shopkeeper’s side of the story without mentioning the kid side.    They explained why she tied him up, but they didn't even mention why the little boy stole products from her shop.    As a result, the article is not balanced, which is difficult to give an opinion on it.    Also, I wondered if the author was interacting or communicating with readers to lead them to a particular point of view.    Or perhaps a biased point of view?    From my point of view, I felt that the author tries to bring us to a parti...

Article title :  Xaysomboun Shopkeeper Apprehended After Tying up Child Source :  Laotian Times Date :  March 09 , 2023 URL :  The link is not usable. But, you can have a look on their Facebook Page 😊 Summary: This article is about a video that has been circulated on social media where we can see a 9-year-old boy being roped onto a motorcycle by a shopkeeper. The woman identified in the video came out to apologize and asked to refrain from attacking her and her family. Moreover, she called on social media users to stop sharing videos and photos of the incident. The police apprehended the incident and she justified herself that this little boy has stolen items in her shops three times. Indeed, this little boy didn’t tell her who his parents were. So out of anger, she roped him in to a motorcycle.  Reaction:  First of all, I was quite shocked of the incident because I have never seen anyone roped a child to a motorcycle as a punishment. Honestly, I think it ...
