    1. “Since Berniehas taken a salary from taxpayers for 40 years, he would know nothing about this.”

      I think this is an example of mudslinging or ad hominem because they are attacking Bernie Sanders personally instead of just talking about whether the 32-hour workweek would work. They bring up how long he has been getting a salary from taxpayers and use that to question his knowledge about the issue. This takes attention away from the actual argument.

    2. Get ready for a long weekend at Bernie’s!

      I think this is an example of sensationalism because the article starts with “Get ready for a long weekend at Bernie’s!” instead of just introducing the bill. The phrase is meant to catch the reader’s attention and make the story sound more entertaining. It also connects Bernie Sanders to the idea of a long weekend before the reader even learns the details of the proposal.

    3. Ben Shapiro believes Americans should work until they drop dead,and Bernie Sanders believes Americans deserve more time off.

      I think this is an example of word choice because the author says Ben Shapiro believes Americans should “work until they drop dead.” That wording makes Ben Shapiro’s position sound much more extreme then simply saying he supports raising the retirement age. The author then describes Bernie Sanders as believing Americans “deserve more time off,” which gives Sanders a more positive description. The way its wording makes one seem bad and one good which can influence bias.

    4. It’s a dismal situation.

      I think that “dismal” shows subjective bias because it makes the situation sound very negative. The author could have just explained that workers have less free time and more unpredictable schedules, but instead they call it a “dismal situation.” This makes the reader see the situation in a negative way before they can form their own opinion.

    1. The Moth Podcast Archive | Kathi Kinnear Hill: But I Just Might

      I think the ending of the story is very important because Cecil tells Kathy and Rita that he will probably not vote for their guy but then says, “I just might.” I think this shows that even though they did not completely change his mind, they also may have given him a different perspective, and it shows how listening to people can create a middle ground between two people.

    2. The Moth Podcast Archive | Kathi Kinnear Hill: But I Just Might

      I think the part where Kathy is unsure about going into the farmer’s house is important because she doesn’t know these people and is nervous about going inside. However, after she goes in and talks to them, she shortly realizes that they are kind people even though they may not agree with her politically. I think this shows that talking to people might change how you see them, and it shows how implicit bias can stop us from making connections.

    1. Enrique García Naranjo | Tombstone Checkpoint | Mesa Mainstage 2017

      I think the part near the end where Enrique talks about how he feels caught between being a citizen and being seen as an outsider or alien is important because it shows how the way people treat him can make him question where he belongs. Even though he is a citizen, he feels like he needs to prove he belongs here, which in reality shouldn’t be the case.

    2. | Tombstone Checkpoint | Mesa Mainstage 2017

      I think that the part where the officer shows bias is where he judges them by how they look. He says they look like American citizens, showing he has an idea of what an American citizen is supposed to look like, which I also would like to point out uses stereotypes. I also realize this made Enrique uncomfortable because he already knew that being brown could make people suspicious of him even though he was a citizen.

    1. Generative AI tools can produce fabricated information that appears authentic—a problem widely known as “hallucination”

      This surprised me because I thought AI was more advanced than this, and I didn’t think it could or would make up information while making it seem completely real. This further shows why it is important to fact-check information from AI, especially when the information is used for something important.

    2. These technology tools can generate content that’s skewed or misleading

      This was something that stood out to me because I did not know that AI could create information that is biased or misleading. I think that this is important to know because it shows us that we shouldn’t automatically believe everything AI tells us. We should check the information before we use it or believe it.

    1. It happens to everyone all of the time.

      This is what surprised me the most in this article because I did not know that implicit bias was something that happens to everyone. I used to think that bias was something that only certain people had, but now I know that our thoughts and decisions can be influenced by things around us without us even realizing it.

    2. Research strongly suggests, however, that your decision might still be influenced by the race and gender of the applicant.

      This stood out to me because it shows that people can be influenced by things without even realizing that they are affecting their decisions. I think this is important to the main point because the article explains that implicit bias can happen even when someone is trying to make a fair decision.
