What is the best way to come to conclusions that are unbiased as possible?

Answer 1

Its virtually impossible not to have biases. That's human nature. What is most important is to identify what your biases are in a particular case and be aware of them.

You need to be really cautious when your conclusion about something fits with your expectation. In that case you need to really weigh are all the other alternatives.

Scientists deal with this all the time. That is why a good scientist will set out to TEST a hypothesis rather than to PROVE a hypothesis. Alarm bells should start to go off when you hear somebody try to prove something. They have an agenda.

Answer 2

Come to the table with an open mind.

Research the issues

Do a historical perspective

Do an actual "now"perspective. History can cloud an issue faster than mud in a glass of water or history can clear fog like the sun.

Read between the lines. What is said .what is unsaid

Read the people involved. Where are they coming from. What are their motives. What are their intents.

What conclusion benefits all.

Answer 3

I believe it's safe to say that when malicious-emotion has entered the course of an argmument, someone, somewhere is trying to hide something that they'd rather not have uncovered at the moment. Wether they are hiding something or not, is up for grabs, but the one who uses more emotion to make his case rather than the context of facts to do so, is most likely misinformed or intentionally trying to manipulate the person(s) he's communicating with.

The above should help anyone's radar, but with that being said, I default to Hegel; who stated, "The truth lies neither in Thesis nor Antithesis but a synthesis of the two." I believe were all rookies when it comes to synthesizing two sides of an argument; yet we can attempt, and most likely with some success as well.

The one I'm working on now is Atheism Vs Theism, dare the truth be found, Dr. Hegel, in the discipline of Agnosticism???

Answer 4

Since i believe in a creator most of my answers to things of this nature often involve reading a bible for answers ... after haveing tried things my way for 50 something yrs and seeing how well that doesn't work , i was open to his viewpoint .... If all he ever wanted for us was to be happy then i had no choice but to give his answers a try for a change .... let me tell you something , I am not some fanatical christian nor was i ever born again .... i simply listened to what his laws are that are written in his book , they are not hard to follow since i was basically following that path anyway.... I don't find it hard to believe that he exists since all i have to do is look up and all around me and know we didn't crawl out of the muck.... There is an order to this universe , if there wasn't , we would not be here ... and since i don't believe that we can save ourselves from this mess here, the answer becomes simple ,, seek out the people who use his name as in ancient times and find your unbiased truths , or follow man and hope for the best , which will never be good enough.........

Answer 5

whenever i make a decision politically i always look to see who makes the most from an agenda....the people, big business or the wealthy.... many times what appear to be do good, feel good programs are in actuallity subsidies for big business.... and do nothing for the common person....

for me i look at all sides off an argument...sometimes the loudest and whackiest is the closest to the truth....the problem is the wackiness is easily discounted even when true...good luck in your conclusioning

Answer 6

the easiest way to come to an unbiased conclusion is to closely consider the pros and cons of each point of view for all groups, not just yourself.

Answer 7

You can start by examining the question itself; sometimes there are false assumptions built into them. Then, examine the facts of the issue. Be sure of what they are. Then, use those facts, along with logic and reason. If something is true, what logically follows will be true. If you start with a false premise, what follows will be false. Eliminate all emotion and biases... see what you come up with.

Answer 8

Eliminate all emotional arguments on either side of the question and make a decision based on the weight of opposing arguments.

Answer 9

by researching the issue, and taking in both sides and coming up with your decision based on fact.

Answer 10

research the definition of biasism, then continue from there. The best help one can get is from ones self. Or speak to elders about it, they are the best source of intellectual knoeledge
