learned about several specific strategies that you can use to manage your biases. How might you apply some of those strategies to processing media like the advertisements your peers shared?
1. If a social scientist is showing anger or negative emotions then they might say something like if a company is failing then it is the CEO/owners fault for not trying hard enough. But if a company is thriving than and the scientist is showing happy or excited emotions the he or she would say the CEO/ owner is doing an excellent job.
I do not believe any of my advertisements had any biases because they are more towards not looking at societies standards on people but accepting everyone as who they are. That no one should be judge and feel comfortable in their own skin.

2. When someone uses their opinions or emotions in their research, they are most likely to include subjective observations. This is frowned upon but can also shed light on what someone’s true beliefs are. This can be a somewhat positive thing because you know exactly where they stand. However, opinions can change over time, and this makes them non credible for research. For this reason, biases should always be avoided when conducting research.
Apple: A Climate Change Promise from Apple- This ad was not biased at all. The intention of the ad is to promote awareness for the importance of preventing further climate change. They are using an innocent child’s life as an example of how important it is to keep the world safe for future generations.

Burger King: Reduced Methane Whoppers- To me, this ad does not show any biases. This ad uses humor in the way of making a song about cows and their ability to generate excess amount of methane gases on a daily basis. This is a very clever way to educate people on the importance of changing our livestock’s eating habits in order to prevent further damage to our environment.

Jeep: Grounghog Day-Bill Murray- This ad shows a bias towards owning a Jeep. It suggests that every day will be the exact same new adventure if you own a Jeep.

Panasonic: Your Inner Man- This ad does show a bias. It tends to encourage that a real man shaves his chest. It also goes to disprove the old stereotype that a real man has to have a full-grown beard and bushy chest hair in order to be a “real man.”
