 * < **Bias** ||< -an inclination of temperant or outlook; //especially// **:** a personaland sometimes unreasoned judgment ||< I find this difficult because bias is everywhere whether in articles or papers it's hard for anyone to be completely neutral when writing about anything not expressing there opinion about whatever they are talking about. ||

Copy the pair or group of words and **explain** the ways they are **similar** or **different**.
 * I**mply/Infer: Imply is like to suggest without directly saying it while Infer is to basically draw your on conclusion based upon the facts that are there.**
 * ** Bias/Point of View: Bias and Point of View are similar in the regard that they both deal opinions and thoughts. **
