Biased headlinesBiased headlines

Step One:

Rewrite 3 loaded or biased phrases in a way that removes the offending inferences. Youll also need to follow each rewritten line with a sentence of your own explaining what the problem with the original line was. Heres a sample of a problem statement:

Dr. Steven Grant, a paleontologist and poor conversationalist, agreed with the findings.

This is biased text, as mentioning that Dr. Grant was a poor conversationalist can call into doubt his credibility without using any facts to back it up. Heres that same statement with the biased language removed:

Dr. Steven Grant, a paleontologist, agreed with the findings.

Step Two:

Using the above example as a guide, rewrite the following 3 lines of biased or loaded text to remove any bias or loaded effect.

Problem Sentences:

If you meet a nurse, tell her how important her job is.
Democrats fail 50% of the time.
Students performed better on the testeven those from foreign universities.
Step Three:

Submit your document. Your document should:

Be 12 pt, Times New Roman font, 1-inch margins, and double spaced.
Consist of at least 6 sentences (3 rewritten lines, and 3 lines explaining the original lines problems).
