By: Lizzie Guertler How do you decide whether or not you trust someone? Are they actually trustworthy? Every day, your brain makes mental leaps which can cause you to automatically trust someone without further knowledge. An unconscious bias is a shortcut that your brain takes to come to a conclusion. They happen all the time when you are in class, in a meeting, and in general talking to someone.

They can be dangerous, inaccurate, and overall wrong, but the scary thing is that these happen without us being aware of it.
