On a website called Wattpad, I posted a chapter on the story that has been the most read recently, which is called Demigods At Hogwarts. The chapter is here (I’ve already deleted the chapter on May 13). I told my readers about the English assignment and posted my poster in it. I asked 6 questions for them to answer, and a lot of them did answer them and some replied to other comments.

In the discussion, people agreed that bias really needs to be noticed and stopped. They agreed that there is still a lot of bias in the world, such as gender stereotypes. They talked about how bias probably started because a group of people are just this way, then people start assuming that they’re all like that. People said that the poster I made was great, meaningful, truthful, attractive, and amazing. They explained how stereotypes must have started, and how it still exists. @paigeanne0 talked about how bias makes people agree with things they don’t. The one bad thing about it was that people said they didn’t know what the poster really represented until I told them. @Camo_Percabeth also mentioned that companies use bias in commercials because they want people to buy them. And that buying them would make them “normal.”

@Cadence1o1 said, “I think stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason. I do think that media influences the way everyone thinks, and we can’t see how people who grew up somewhere else think.” I never thought of it this way, and that’s something I learned. Because people don’t know what other people are like, so they have a general description of what they’re like. @PJOandHOO_fan also brought up a good point, “I agree with this. If enough people around you agree with a certain stereotype, you won’t be free to express your own thoughts.” @TheCatPersonYay replied to that comment about how peer pressure can make you go along with what they say, including bias.

Here are all of the comments.

Also, the opinions I got were from many different kinds of people.
For the gender, pink is girls, green is boys, and purple means their gender is private.
For the ages, blue is 13-18, brown is private, green is 18-25, red is 25-35, light blue is 35-45, and pink is 45+

This is a map that shows where my readers are from. Dark blue is the most popular.
