Topic Description
Topic Introduction
Implicit bias is an automatic and unintentional response that usually affects how people
think and act toward certain racial, gender, and social groups. I have chosen to focus on the
African American community in the United States because it has been disproportionately
affected by implicit bias in various ways such as education, law enforcement, and employment.
The objective of this paper is to understand how implicit bias affects the experiences and
challenges faced by this community in each of the following lenses: history, humanities, natural
and applied sciences, and social science.
Implicit biases are subconsciously held predispositions that affect our actions and
decisions, often without our conscious awareness. In their book "Blindspot: Hidden Biases of
Good People", Banaji & Greenwald (2013) reveal how deeply ingrained such biases can be, even
in people with good intentions. They argue that biases can emerge from cultural and societal
influences, and that anyone can be susceptible to them, not just those who are intentionally
malicious.
According to Dushaw Hockett (n.d.), “implicit biases operate at the subconscious level
outside of conscious awareness.” Project Implicit is an ongoing research project that provides
implicit association tests (IATs) to the general public that aims to measure unconscious biases
related to various social issues like race, gender, sexual orientation, age, etc. The data collected
has been the basis for numerous studies that indicate the subconscious nature of implicit bias.

Additional perspectives come from Mahzarin Banaji and Anthony Greenwald. During
one of their studies, a conclusion was made disclosing that, “Even though present-day
questionnaire studies show that most Americans now express egalitarian racial attitudes, uses of
the IAT have revealed that approximately 75 percent of Americans display implicit (automatic)
preference for White relative to Black (Banaji & Greenwald, 2013).”
Implicit bias is an automatic judgment or stereotype we make without being aware of it.
Hockett says these biases are quick, subconscious, and sometimes the total opposite of what we
consciously believe (Hocket, n.d.). For example, a school principal may think they treat all
students fairly but still suspend more students of color due to implicit biases.
Population
The African American community in the United States has been subjected to
discrimination as a result of implicit bias. Over the years, they have experienced various forms of
bias and unfair treatment. Despite being a diverse group, they share the common experience of
being marginalized in society. Implicit bias affects them in many ways, including their
interactions with law enforcement, job opportunities, and education. An example of this injustice
is the Jim Crow Laws. Jim Crow inflicted many injustices on the African American community,
one example is limited employment options by barring them from certain professions and
relegating them to low-wage jobs. Although this is not an example of implicit bias, the legacy of
Jim Crow can indirectly contribute to current implicit biases. The long-term effects of such
systemic bias can shape societal attitudes, stereotypes, and generalizations that contribute to
individual implicit biases.

Lives and Experiences
One way to illustrate how implicit bias has impacted the lives and experiences of the
African American community is the school-to-prison pipeline. The school-to-prison pipeline
refers to policies that funnel students from public schools into the juvenile and criminal justice
systems for minor offenses. For example, if teachers or school officials have implicit biases
against Black students, those students are more likely to be disciplined in ways that can lead
them to jail later on. According to recent data, “the racial gap is widening as nationally Black
students are three and a half times more likely to be suspended or expelled than their white peers
who are much more likely to be diverted from punishment via de-stigmatized medical labels
(Heitzeg, 2016).”
General Education Interdisciplinary Lens
To fully understand the complexities surrounding diversity and its effects on both
individuals and societal structures, the social science lens is the most suitable approach. Social
science involves a deep analysis of human behavior and interactions, explaining how societies
develop certain structures and norms and how they affect individuals on different levels.
Choosing the social science lens enables a complete understanding of how systemic
biases, such as those encountered in various societal institutions, are formed, and sustained. It
provides the necessary tools to understand not only the overt behaviors but also the underlying
motivations, beliefs, and implicit biases that affect decisions and actions (Banaji & Greenwald,
2013). By using this lens, we can better comprehend the intricate ways in which diverse
identities navigate within societal frameworks and the resulting challenges they face. It offers a
platform to explore the feedback loop between individual identities and societal constructs,

providing insights into both the micro (individual) and macro (societal) aspects of diversity and
their implications.
Thesis
This paper identifies how implicit biases can have a significant impact on the experiences
and challenges faced by the African American community in the United States. It uses social
science research methods and information from Project Implicit and studies by Banaji and
Greenwald to explore the impact of these biases on the African American community. The
school-to-prison pipeline is used as a historical lens to demonstrate how systemic factors and
individual behaviors have contributed to implicit discrimination.
Critical Analysis
Constructive Collaboration
Tools like the Implicit Association Test (IAT) have not only provided valuable data but
also facilitated public conversations around the topic. Recognizing the problem is the first step
toward a solution, and these studies offer a starting point for discussions and policy change.
Efforts, which include workshops and mentorship programs, have been shown to be effective in
reducing racial biases. Projects driven by the local community do more than just short-term
training, they create lasting change by involving the community in meaningful ways.

international collaborative network of researchers investigating unconscious bias. One of their

NOTE: There are multiple assignments due this week. 3 diagrams, a database design document, a data dictionary, table definitions, cybersecurity plan, source code, and a software test plan (see template below).
Project implementation is arguably the most exciting stage of the project management process. It is during project implementation that project plans begin to come to life and assumptions are able to be tested and measured in real-life scenarios.
One of the outcomes of project implementation is a set of deliverables that typically includes a system diagram; a network diagram; a database design document, including an entity-relationship diagram, a data dictionary, and table definitions; a clearly articulated cybersecurity plan; and source code.
To complete this assignment, you will create:
A system diagram that shows, in graphic form, the components of your project.
Your system diagram should follow the system description you submitted in your Week 2 project plan (but may…

Church Information System
XYZ Church is a fast-growing church in Grand Rapids area. Over the past three years, since the popular Reverend Timothy Becker has taken over leadership of the congregation, the church has more than doubled in size. It now has approximately 400 registered households. Reverend John Howard has also recently been added as a second minister. Since the Church was rather small in the past, most of its records have been kept on paper forms. However, the Church’s Business Manager, Margie Roberts, has suggested to Reverend Becker that a computerized system might help the Church better meet its information needs and manage its activities.
In addition to Ms. Roberts, the Church employs a part-time administrative assistant, Mabel McGregory. Mabel performs clerical duties such as filing, record keeping, answering phone calls, and typing the weekly church bulletin using WordPerfect for Windows on the Church’s only personal computer. A retiree, Leroy Stricty, is employed…
