Note: I don’t know if this does have a proper name or not, but I’d love to be enlightened on it.
During my most recent semester of school, I found myself disliking a specific teacher. I was not fond of her teaching style, which seemed to be giving students a task and then letting them run wild with it. However, this dislike enhanced due to my peers also having a bitter taste from her lessons, and not a single student liked her; most even went so far to say that they hate her. It wasn’t until another student started saying nothing but positive things about this instructor that I began to think differently. She described the teacher as “lassez-faire,” which put an entirely new perspective on my thoughts toward her.
It seems I had a rut based upon the other students agreeing with my negativity, and even enhancing it. This is somewhat like confirmation bias, except there was no positivity to be found. But what caused this, and could it be stopped? I guess all I can take from this is that perception changes everything, and that just because a majority has one view, it is not necessarily the correct way.
I’ve noticed this bias in my life. I think this especially can apply to politicians. For example, in heavily conservative areas of the USA, people were angry at the promotion of Sonia Sotomayor to Supreme Court justice without ever knowing any of her qualifications. That’s all I’ve got.
I am extremely impressed along with your writing talents and also
with the structure in your blog. Is that this a paid theme or did you customize
it yourself? Anyway stay up the nice high quality writing, it’s uncommon to look a great weblog like this one these days..
Hi there would you mind letting me know which webhost you’re using? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 completely different web browsers and I must say
this blog loads a lot faster then most. Can you suggest a good internet hosting provider at a reasonable price?
Kudos, I appreciate it!
