In my thesis, I wanted to argue that most people in society prematurely judge bias in a negative light. Biases present a mechanism for human beings to cope with the overwhelmingness of the world. Our biases follow us throughout our entire lives; they are developed through the upbringing that we receive in childhood, the interactions that we make with others, and more. Therefore, instead of doing something so radical as abandoning our biases, perhaps human beings can learn to become aware of their biases, to accept these biases, and to make beneficial use out of them - through sharing and understanding.

The objects of this capstone was no meaning. As people enforce their own thoughts into the meaning of these labelled shapes, then actively argue amongst one another, is this not the process of developing a bias and making it known to others?
