Are We Conditioning Our Children to Accept Biases?

Thunder Talk

Language being the center of human interactions can be used affirmatively or destructively. It’s usage forms the basis of our societies, our stories and our narratives. When children grow up in a world where the stories consistently entitle them or belittle them, they will internalize these beliefs without question. NLP considerably automates the analysis that is paramount to setting the world right when it comes to these societal beliefs. NLP has the potential to be an excellent equalizer. Most children pick up notions from their educational texts and the rules at their educational institute. Thus, analyzing, identifying and eliminating cultural biases in the literature used to educate would be among the first steps to fostering an equal world. This presentation has an interdisciplinary basis, borrowing concepts from psychology, linguistics, literature, statistics and computer science.
