Biased Representation

Biased representation in general knowledge refers to the idea that certain perspectives, groups, or narratives are favored over others in the way information is presented or understood. This can happen due to cultural, social, or institutional influences that prioritize specific viewpoints, often leading to a skewed or incomplete picture of reality. For example, if history textbooks predominantly feature one culture's achievements while neglecting others, they create a biased understanding of history. Recognizing biased representation is crucial for promoting a more balanced and inclusive understanding of knowledge across various subjects.
