EOTO, Pt 1 (Confirmation Bias)
Confirmation Bias occurs from the direct influence of desire on beliefs. So basically, if you want something to be true for so long, then you will end of believing it to be true. The idea of it happening eventually and sticking to it is what confirms their views to be true. The real definition of confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor and recall information in a way that confirms or strengthens ones personal beliefs. Some implications of this theory includes wishful thinking. Which just means the idea or wish you will, will eventually come true.
Confirmation bias has been proven to contribute to overconfidence in personal beliefs. This might affect society as a whole because have so much confidence in your own personal beliefs doesn't leave much room to listen to others beliefs and understand where they are coming from. This means that you may form tough relationships with people because you are not open to listen and understand. As a whole confirmation bias is just having high goals for yourself and believing that those goals will happen. So as far as whether you are rich or poor, young or old, male or female and etc, none of that would matter. This is because you all have things of your own that you strongly believe in, so your work ethic is the deciding factor as to if you will get to that point.
Confirmation bias can affect your judgement and that can sometimes affect how you treat the people around you. These people include your family, friends and peers. In some situations we are aware that our beliefs are affecting our judgments and our relationships, but we continue to stick with those beliefs because we don't want to see others perspectives. In your own life you should be aware that confirmation bias does exists even if you don't see it. This is important so that if it happens to you, you know how to react so you don't lose the ones you love most.
