     It  is  important  to be able  to  recognize,   name,
describe  and talk about the various forms of  bias  which
people  are prone to demonstrate.   This is especially  so
for  those forms of bias which are manipulative and  prone
to   be   respected due to manipulations by   the   biased
persons.

     People who are preoccupied with issues of control are
usually  biased  in  one way  or  another.    They  cannot
transcend  their preoccupations with issues of control and
so  see all situations in terms of who is in control,  who
is not in control, who should be in control, etc.

     People  who  lack humility and demonstrate  arrogance
are biased in ways which will lead to tragic consequences.
They   cannot   see  situations   without   preoccupations
regarding  how they will increase or decrease their levels
of power, respect, self esteem and self confidence.

     People  who  are preoccupied  with  being  objective,
scientific,  quantitative and certain---are biased by  the
values and ideals which they affirm implicitly but are not
free  to  examine  in open and  honest  dialogue.     They
pretend  not to be involved in any reflexive  behaviors---
even  as  they affirm the ideals and values of  not  being
involved  in any  reflexive behaviors.    Their dishonesty
leads  to bias.

     Religious  leaders  who  are preoccupied  with rules,
commandments,  scriptures,  prohibitions,  etc.  which are
often  used as the basis for  judgmental  condemnations---
are   biased  in favor of alienation and   estrangement---
and biased against conflict resolution and reconciliation.
