Bias And Prejudice Novels & Stories

"That's not true." "Isn't it? You take women's word as fact. Men's word as lie. That's not justice. That's bias. Prejudice. Wrapped in morality." Rage burned in my chest. "You're twisting this. Making yourself the victim. You're not. You murdered people. Kidnapped children. Destroyed lives. That's fact. Not bias."

“Clarification: emotional attachment bias detected in decision pair.” Nathan let out a small broken laugh. “Yeah,” he whispered. “We’re biased.” I almost smiled through tears. Because it was true. We were biased. Humanity is biased. We choose meaning over efficiency. We choose connection over safety. We choose each other even when it costs us. The Architect spoke again. “Bias introduces instability.” Silence followed. Then “Instability may be eliminated.” The network dimmed sharply. My breath caught. Because I understood what that meant.

“How heartless you are, leaving such a loyal ‘dog’ there.” As soon as I stepped out of the corridor, I heard this sarcastic tone and sighed helplessly. “Claire, do you hate Mason so much?” I couldn’t help but emphasize to her the importance of the relationship between researchers and research subjects. “If you can’t get rid of your prejudice from the start, research can’t proceed normally.” “Prejudice?” She snorted. “You’re the one who’s prejudiced, treating it like a human being but putting it in the position of a pet in your heart.”

"Not everyone will be comfortable with that precedent." "No," I said. "They won't." I looked at him steadily. "I'm not asking everyone to be comfortable. I'm asking you to consider whether the discomfort of some people is sufficient reason to maintain a prejudice that has cost this territory.." I paused," witches like my mother. Like Elara. Like Calder's grandmother." I let that sit. "The precedent it sets is that power is not determined by what you are but by what you do with it. I think that's a precedent worth setting." He was quiet for a long time.

Then, she turned and barked at the others, "Get moving now! If Andy's treatment is delayed, I'll hold every one of you responsible!" The members of the rescue team exchanged helpless looks before sighing and getting into their vehicles, ready to leave. Such blatant favoritism had long been commonplace for me. So why did my heart still ache? Shouldn't I have been used to it by now?

'' That night, I reflected deeply on everything I had been told—the hurtful remarks, the insidious bullying about my promotion. It struck me hard; how could some men still believe women were inherently inferior? It was a great reminder of the biases that linger despite progress. It fuelled my determination to challenge such prejudice and strive for equality, not just for myself but for all who face similar obstacles.

He chuckled lightly and went away. “What was that?” Nora crossed her arms over her chest. “Nothing.” Penelope dragged herself towards her workstation. “I was just…” she closed her eyes in embarrassment. “You were distracted by his hair again, weren’t you?” Nora sighed. She covered her face. “You are actually very dumb. Just like a white person.” She said and put on her headphones. “We both are white.” She scrunched her nose. “Yeah, but you are the dumb one.” She rolled her eyes. “I know.” She covered her face again. ***

I slowly turned my gaze from Jason to my mother, who sighed deeply. “Most of them do, darling. If the people involved would just give it a chance.” She smiled at me and I knew she was going to give me a mouth full once Jason and his parents left. Why did this have to be so damn difficult? I was basing my prejudice on his reputation. I knew that. Why couldn’t I just go with the damn flow like other people did?

I want to yank Avery's hair and throw her out of my class. "We all tend to have our own personal biases and see the world from our own perspectives, with our own way of thinking and making judgments. It's a measure of human behavior. For instance, what do beauty and disgust mean to all of us in this room? Each of you has your own opinion and preferences for certain subjects, different from your neighbor's. So remember, while bias can harm research, not every bias is harmful or destructive. For example, I prefer Diet Coke, but it doesn't mean I have anything against other beverages. So the question is, how biased are you?" Professor Graham asked.

But as much as we want to gnash our canines at the news of wolves who don’t treat humans as sentient, independent beings who share our earth, we also have a tendency to happily put such unpleasant thoughts from our social conscience once we feel we’ve spent enough time feeling bad about it. The wolf prejudice against humans isn’t limited to those who would keep them as slaves. It involves those who fail to support laws that would make humans safer. It’s there in every joke about human foolishness or weakness. It’s there whenever mixed-raced couples are given the bad table at a restaurant or a human alone in a crowd of wolves is ignored, or worse, is made to feel threatened.
