• Use and cite Bevan(Section 4.1) to define and explain biased language.
• Share an example of biased language you have seen in some computer-mediated interaction.
• Answer the following three questions:
  • How does biased language reflect the attitudes, behaviors, and perception of the sender?
  • How might biased language impact the attitudes, behaviors, and perception of the receiver of the content, and/or the sender, or both?
  • What is the significance of biased language in computer-mediated contexts specifically?
