Reflection on APA

Most people have the power to sway the minds of other, it is when the writer is bias toward one side of an argument. However when writing a APA style u want as little as possible of bias opinion. In order to reduce bias in the language its best to remember general guide lines to sed groups and the sensitivity of the group talking about. Be sensitive to labeling people, call them by prefer names and determine how they would like to be called. Be as specific as possible when making a statement. Acknowledge all participation that occurred during the activities, describe that all had a part in the activity.
APA is used for a author-date citation system, citing the work of those individuals whose ideas, theories, or findings have had a direct influence in there work. This type of reference, includes the author's surname and year the works publication. When using direct quotes or statements from texts give the page number, or where you found the phrase or the organs. this style of writing was developed by social and behavioral scientists to standardize writing to ensure that it will be easier to understand more better.
