How are they formed?

Biases are formed through cultural influences, personal experiences, cognitive shortcuts, and the reinforcement of existing beliefs. They can be conscious or unconscious and often arise from stereotypes, in-group favouritism, and cognitive dissonance. Recognizing and addressing biases, both implicit and explicit, is essential for fostering diversity, inclusion, and fairness in society. This involves self-awareness, education, and efforts to challenge and change biased attitudes and behaviours.
