"Blind Spots" can be defined as unconscious biases that can narrow our vision and potentially influence our behaviors. Listening to this podcast really made me reflect on the possible biases in my own life... How diverse my personal circle is/why does it look like it does; How often do I use generalizations; What is my initial perception when I talk to someone different from me (language, religion, etc.). It made me consider becoming more open-minded, more inclusive, more accepting and forgiving of others, and maybe even consuming more cultural literature/TV shows/movies. I need to become more aware of any possible cultural "triggers" that I may have, which may make those unconscious or learned biases come out... Cultural differences, religious differences, political differences, etc.
