To begin, an algorithm is a sequence of specific rules or computer-implementable instructions which calculate and solve problems. Social media websites and web search engines use algorithms to manage, highlight and control large swaths of data. While we assume algorithms would be without bias because a computer runs them, this is a misconception. Algorithms require a person to program them, this person can have explicit or implicit biases. Additionally, while a person would be able to pick up problems and receptively change the way they respond, we must program algorithms to learn, and this in itself can cause problems because
