What would be bias about these sentences?

What would be bias about these sentences explain? Thank you! Explain the bias...








"my son is the best basket ball player on his team,"





"According to statistics Canada, the average person spends 8.1 hours sleeping per night."








Police should adopt a zero tolerance policy toward antisocial behaviour that is ruining our city.





- Vancouver businessperson|||"my son..." -- assumes that the parent's definition of good is the same as everyone else's. A reasonable person would ask: by what standard? I mean, if he's a good defensive player but doesn't rack up three pointers, is he not helping the team equally well as the forward who is aggressive in the paint?





"Canada..." -- Assumes that Canada is a good standard for how much sleep people ought to be getting. I mean, maybe life is slower in Canada. If a guy who lives in Tokyo gets 5.1 hours of sleep, is it HIS fault, or the fact that "Tokyo never sleeps"?





"Police..." -- Zero tolerance to WHAT, and by what standard? How exactly do you define antisocial behavior? Who decides exactly what "ruins" our society. This sentence is so full of bias it's not even funny. It COULD be a statement about someone who just doesn't like punks or goths, or it could be the busybody grandmother down the block who is pissed that you didn't carry her newspaper to her front door. And it also presumes that a "Vancouver businessperson" has a respectable, representative attitude that others will identify with. What if her "business" is operating a condom store in a gay neighborhood and she is pissed at the Christian right for parading down the streets with "no gay, no way" banners?





Anyway, those are made up examples. Usually the best way to detect bias is to see if the sentence means the same thing when people from wildly different walks of life say it.|||1. The first sentence is an opinion by someone with an interest in that person.





2. The sentence should cite the specific study so that people can verify whether or not StatsCan actually claims that.





3. Class bias. A Vancouver businessperson isn't likely to understand antisocial behaviour and readers aren't likely to understand what specific activities constitute antisocial behaviour.
