The results I got from the Gay-straight bias quiz wasn't surprising at all. I have my beliefs on this matter and firmly stick by them. It told me that I have a"slight automatic preference for straight people compared to gay people". Personally, heterosexual behavior is all I knew and all I saw growing up. I knew that that's what I wanted from an early age. I think a big reason why my results came out like they did was because of the household I grew up in. My parents have been married for 29 years and counting, so I always believed that that was what a family should look and function like. Also, my religious beliefs. Being that I am a Christian we have our own feelings toward homosexuality that most likely impacted my results. With that being said, I do not discriminate any group, I just have my own boundaries and beliefs that I live by. These results will definitely give me more of an understanding of all groups and their beliefs when working with others. It's not that I didn't know this about myself, but it is always good to get a refresher on topics like this especially now that it's more prevalent in today's society.
The results I got from the Light skin dark skin bias quiz was surprising. It told me that I have a "slight automatic preference for dark skin people compared to light skin people. I found that surprising because the majority of my family is light skin and most are my friends are too. I feel like the results came out that way because of my own mistakes during the activities. It doesn't matter what skin color a person has, but rather or not they are genuine in what they are saying is what's important to me.
The last quiz I took was on president popularity. The results weren't surprising to me.It told me I had a "slight automatic preference for Barack Obama compared to Franklin D. Rosevelt". That makes sense because, at the time when President Barack Obama was elected, I was 13 years old so that's really when I started to understand politics and wanted to understand. I knew of other presidents just based off classes I took in school at that time, but President Barack Obama was the first African-American president so that gave me something to relate to. I also went to the Inauguration which will definitely stick with me for the rest of my life. With prior presidents I felt as if I didn't know who they were, with President Barack Obama I felt connceted which probably lead to my results.
I really liked what you had to say about the gay-straight quiz. I thought you articulated your feelings really well and I have the same feelings as you in the subject matter where you don't discriminate but you still have your faith and beliefs that you are going to live by and that you grew up in a strong family setting just as I did. I also thought your reasoning for you having a bias towards President Obama because of us growin up and really starting to understand politics with him in office through it all was a great point and I think that probably is the case for all of us
