This was an interesting lecture. I liked the demonstration she did with the picture of the table. Even after she showed that they were the same size, when looking at them I did not want to believe that they were the same size. My mind would not agree with what my eyes saw. It is strange that when we know something to be true we can still believe it false based on the perspective we have on it. We get things engraved in our minds and are unable to change what we believe without working at it for a long time.
The demonstration she did with the gender biases was interesting. It is amazing how we can believe we are not biased but when we are put to a simple test like that one it will show that we are biased in that way. I found it interesting that the females in the room had the same conclusion as the males in the room. It shows how much society has an impact on the way we think and the biases that we have. We all have them as much as we do not want to admit that they are there.
