Of course, the main stumbling block to overcome is the breeding and creating of new bigots, although that seems to be less prevalent than in the days of government-sanctioned segregation and other racism. That being said, anybody that thought the election of Obama would end our racial society was out of their mind. To this day, people often use accusations of racism to deflect criticism of Obama or other black elected officials and that is shameful unless there is a clear sign of bigotry coming into play. The point is that the proverbial "kicking of the can" down the road of ending bigotry are people that do not WANT the appearance of bigotry to end and they will make it up as they go along as they see fit.

(Grossman, 2003, Academic Search Elite) It is hoped that a greater understanding of the human brain's ability to recognize faces in a specific sequence, group of patterns, density and also in whole or part will further assist the purveyors of new technology to train machines to do the same.

The results of this study found that some negative bias towards a patient's socioeconomic standing -- particularly from less-experienced dental students -- can result in "differential treatment" (e.g., less attentive care) (Carson, 675). But by "heightening awareness" of potential biases (that are based on accent or perceived lower socioeconomic status, or on racism) among dental students, through educational initiatives, stereotyping and bias can be reduced if not eliminated (Carson,
Perception of Customer Behavior The Psychological State of Consumer Behavior The psychological state of the customer plays an important part in determining the consumer satisfaction. The perception and behavior of the consumer has an impact on the service climate as well as customer perception of service equality. According to Benjamin Schneider, Suzan White and Michelle Paul in the journal of applied psychology (Schneider, White & Paul, 1998), a given set of foundation
Perception is the basis of a human's ability to see, hear, and make sense out of these senses. The different types of perception include bottom-up processing, which researchers sometimes refer to data-driven processing, top-down processing, which is sometimes called conceptually driven processing.
