Understanding my prejudices

Keith Woods (of the Poynter Institute) was especially informative. I learned a lot about myself, including things that I never would have guessed applied to me. Deep down we all have prejudices that may impact how we perceive different situations. I guess I’m far more prejudiced than I realized. But I’m no different than anyone else. Now that I’m aware of my prejudices and how they can adversely influence my judgment, I can contain them and approach every challenging situation logically. No doubt this will help me be a better critical thinker.
