Begin by selecting three cognitive biases covered in this weeks reading or lectures. Using an online tool or application such as Microsoft Word, create three warning posters that explain the dangers behind the three cognitive biases you have selected.

All three posters should be different.
Prejudice bias
Superstation Bias
Loyalty bias
Feel free to be creative!
