Common Ground on Gender Bias | Debjani Biswas | TEDxCapeMay

[@MrNgservice]

Knowing that one may be subject to bias is one thing; being able to correct it is another.

[@kenvic648]

The Elephant and the Rider metaphor has been used to explain a number of thinking ideas - and it applies to understanding bias too.

[@skylarpeterson6934]

Time perspective is one of the most powerful influences on all of human 're trying to show how people become biased to being exclusively past-, present- or future-oriented.

[@mariokoerner682]

Words cannot express my feelings, nor my thanks for all your help

[@margaretgarza9802]

You have the courage of your convictions.

[@violetpatience8152]

The greatness of nations is shown by their strict regard for human rights, rigid enforcement of the law without bias, and just administration of the affairs of life

[@elenidougal7611]

This is a really fantastic explanation of bias in general - maybe one of the simplest and clearest I've heard!

[@DebjaniBiswas]

Eleni Dougal thank you so much for your wonderful words.

[@jasoncrawford4517]

Listening without bias or distraction is the greatest value you can pay another person

[@braydongabriela7394]

The subjective human dimension of science can never be divorced from the objective, because everyone operates with presuppositions (biases)

[@leonardabbigail443]

Beautiful talk and so very, very true.

[@MadeleineBlackUnbroken]

She speaks with such gentle authority and her opening question is so powerful! "Can you listen as if you might be wrong?" Great talk on challenging and raising awareness around the biases and double standards that are present in society

[@kendrajohnson3125]

Whilst large organisations need foresight, they are also notorious in their bias for short term thinking, sometimes rejecting or even suppressing foresight

[@garrisonkeaton5982]

People in both fields operate with beliefs and the extent you can eliminate both and replace them with data, you gain a clear advantage

[@jimmycrackcorn5254]

Recognizing that you have a bias and blind spots is essential to personal growth

[@jacobjerrett3545]

It is indeed very grand to conquer the external nature, but grander still is to conquer our internal nature

[@oakwood366]

The way you treasure your loved ones is incredible

[@Klangwerkfred]

How Thoughtful Of You!

[@sandrahoffman5109]

I just watched your video again. You have such clarity on issues that all of us face. Awareness that helps us think and understand how our own behaviors, habits and attitudes came about. I know I will watch this again.

[@kellymartin011]

It is doubtless impossible to approach any human problems with a mind free from bias

[@vlincoln100]

Great points Debjani!

[@simonesalim4083]

Thank you for your beautiful insights!

[@xXsexibabeXx21]

Thank you so much for this speech

[@stanjazylowski9717]

Ms. Biswas encourages us to stay mindful of inclusion/exclusion as we traverse our personal bridges.

[@DebjaniBiswas]

Stanja Zylowski thank you for that insightful summary.

[@giuseppesanzone1450]

My point is that perceptual bias can affect nut jobs and scientists we hold too rigidly to what we think we know, we ignore or avoid evidence of anything that might change our mind

[@jaydencarlee813]

Good transitions can make a speech more important to the audience because they feel they are being taken to a positive conclusion without having to travel a bumpy road

[@austyndonald3306]

One way or another we are all biased, but still we have the modern cortical capacity to choose whether or not to let the harmful biases dictate our behavior

[@zacharybradley1750]

Lucky to found your speech

[@rosendohiggenbotham5012]

Your thoughtfulness will always be remembered.

[@maliagabrielson7721]

Very lucky to have listen to you

[@tamarkeach804]

Thanks for you speech

[@aryannafrancisco2222]

It is assumed that the skeptic has no bias; whereas he has a very obvious bias in favour of skepticism

[@lillianbailey8752]

Thank you for your helpful comments.

[@dreamadonatelli4090]

Calling it lunacy makes it easier to explain away the things we don't understand

[@f30516]

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader

[@chriswatson7356]

So much truth in this speech. Love your insight and sincerity.

[@chriswatson7356]

Thanks

[@DebjaniBiswas]

That means a lot coming from you Chris.

[@DebjaniBiswas]

Chris, with your background in education, am guessing you saw a lot of gender bias in young students as well?

[@chriswatson7356]

Unleash the Power of Diversity yes. Complimenting young girls on things out of their control. Expecting all boys to be athletes. Tough environment to not just operate according to stereotypes!

[@sumio11]

@@chriswatson7356 Chris, Dejani's comment on tears brought to my mind that you could go back through all of the US Presidents, current one excepted, in my lifetime and remember when each one cried in public. When we teach boys not to cry, they become men who cannot cry. Who is weak, the person who cries when tears are called for or the person who cannot?

[@sercankasan6402]

Such a wonderful talk from a beautiful speaker.

[@jaimeebaumert1955]

Our reflex reaction to a person or situation does not display our Bias, any more than our “startle reflex” is our only response to our initial sight of a bad accident

[@verenabolten7974]

Storytelling is the most powerful way to put ideas into the world today

[@asmaulhusnabrishti9875]

nothing stops your dream. When you say, "I meant to do that," and i believe. I was looking for something like this everywhere! Well done! This talk is so inspiring to me.

[@TheLeagueHeroes]

Being around you makes everything better!

[@kathylight54]

Beautiful, Debjani! Thank you for your courage and eloquence. Such important work you are doing to raise awareness and move us to action!

[@rocketscientist4781]

It will be the 8th wonder if someone made it beyond 5 minutes. What a great made-up story that call me after 20 years. Women are sometimes such pathetic wuss that they want handouts, begging for everything in broad daylight. We men were born in the same country and under the same sun. If you are left behind, blame yourself. We men are awesome and not scoundrels. We have created a great civilization under the roof of which you women sleep soundly and ungratefully. Go sell your nonsense somewhere else.

[@manunambiar2996]

Debjani- watched this with my family. Well articulated. Several messages in here that should be heard out loud and clear -especially among the youth.

[@selinyasar5986]

Keep them up, this is a great revision resource!

[@SuperMarci78]

Great love this kind of delivered it hope you present more often.

[@AskBritt]

talk needs to be everywhere.

[@catherineryleigh6668]

In evaluating ourselves, we tend to be long on our weaknesses and short on our strengths

[@skeven2127]

Great direct to the point reference for the effort

[@twandaestill2257]

The best way to conquer stage fright is to know what you are talking about

[@lennygertsch4858]

Remember, it takes courage, vulnerability, and humility to admit what you don’t know and experiment with new behaviors

[@mattbeaney2502]

You’re a great speaker!

[@laritanardi2717]

To make sure that we grow and stand tall with dignity, all humans, no matter the gender, must rise together with humanity

[@justineairiau5239]

[@andreasschukalla9920]

Great the facts you have given us as well as the framing of this.

[@devonabanuelos6855]

Very well put.

[@moniquesantibanez3111]

this video changes my perspective

[@MahbuburRahmanfiverr]

When you say, "I meant to do that," I totally believe you. Thank you so much for this amazing lesson .

[@chelseymarlon5775]

If the world had more people like you it would be a better do make a difference

[@jaquelinecarina5420]

We are all equal

[@scorpiondrew85]

We are all influenced by our biases: the big difference between people is some are aware of this, while others are not

[@marlonsitoprunita7436]

What a good seminar on Common Ground on Gender Bias, I liked it too much, thank you for sharing it.

[@casper_alligatoah8989]

A small yet skillful rider (our thinking self) can, to a good degree, control the large and independent elephant (our biases).But it requires continuous attention from the rider; and even then it seems the elephant gets its way much of the time.

[@tegwinpulley7867]

Beautifully communicated.

[@kristenpressner7854]

Thanks for sharing your insights with us Debjani

I really appreciate the time you’ve taken out of your busy schedule to help me out.

[@mindfulmary7184]

Debjani Biswas shares an important message in a very personal way. Thank you for your contributions on this needed topic.

[@DebjaniBiswas]

Thank YOU so much for taking the time to view this and help bridge the global gender gap!

[@fernandezjennym]

Fantastic TEDx Talk! "Inclusion only works when you are in the room" is a great insight. We must do more and also remove the guardrails including language that keeps different groups out or oppressed (in this case women).

[@thomasurbanek9796]

This is great!

[@jangaspar6085]

Interesting speech

[@rubyschultz6856]

Beautifully done

[@alinarman9497]

I love the way you make me think

[@jenywatson2671]

You are right. We all should look at this sophisticated issue and remove biasness from society

[@jeffreysanders2183]

The best all day!!

[@hakon1913]

You’re wonderful!

[@robertbritton3056]

Debjani touches upon a very important topic, gender bias. As she was speaking, the movie Hidden Figures came to mind, where two central biases were at play - race and gender. I also recalled the short documentary film from the Academy Awards last month, Period. End of Sentence. Gender bias is both a cultural and an individual issue. Culturally, there are many places around the world which are still living a medieval mindset toward women. I'd like to think we've buried the issue here in the U.S., but Debjani points out that this isn't true, we still have a ways to go - although not quite as far as some other cultures. Individually, I think we all have blind spots, and gender bias may be one of them for some people. When you meet someone, is your first characterization of them as a human being, or is it as a man or a woman? Very reflective TEDTalk by Debjani.

[@ConspiracySeekers]

Your story was so inspiring I felt so much love from glad you have shared your wonderful journey to wishes always

[@francesfox4610]
