Bias is the implicit prejudice for or against individuals, groups or even ideologies especially in a way considered to be discriminatory. Biases can be formed by individuals outside of their own conscious awareness, known as unconscious bias. This form of prejudice is the more prevalent than conscious bias. Conscious bias is a more deliberate form of prejudice that also warrants our concern.
