7. Examples of Bias in Behavior: If someone has a bias about women, they can take two different approaches. If they're biased toward women, they might hire only women because they feel they make better employees for some gender-related reason. Conversely, if they're biased against women, they might hire a man over a more-qualified female candidate.

8. Biases toward certain religions can also manifest in two different ways. If someone is biased toward their own religion, they will think their beliefs and practices are superior to any other form of religion. If, however, they're biased against a certain religion, they might show it by making rude or insensitive comments, or go as far as vandalizing religious buildings.

9. How about same-sex couples? If someone is biased toward same-sex couples, they might choose to rent their home to them over a heterosexual couple. If they're biased against same-sex couples, they might discriminate against them by refusing to rent to them.

10. If someone is biased toward a political affiliation, they will tend to speak more positively of politicians belonging to the same party. If that same person is biased against a different political affiliation, he or she might show their bias by quickly dismissing or disagreeing with anyone who aligns with that opposing political view.
