Because if you look for that author you can learn more things that you don't now

It is important to look for the author's biases because understanding their perspective and potential agendas can help you evaluate the credibility and objectivity of the information presented. By being aware of potential biases, you can make more informed decisions about the validity of the content and its relevance to your own beliefs and values.

i have been looking for the same answer... But i think it's Module 1...... Hope this helped.
An example from the history of science that illustrates the importance of leaving personal biases behind is the rejection of Semmelweis' findings on handwashing in the 19th century. At the time, his work challenging prevailing medical beliefs was met with skepticism and resistance from the medical community due to entrenched biases. This delayed the acceptance of his discoveries and had significant consequences for public health.
Dehumanizing biases are types of biases that cause the mistreatment of others based on belonging to certain groups. These biases include prejudice, sexism, racism, and discrimination.
Source documents are important so we can see what was really happening during any one period of time. If we relay on second hand accounts, we will take on the biases of the authors.

You didn't give us the choices, but as a professor, I can tell you that you always want to know who wrote an article before you quote it-- whether it's for a science paper or any other paper. The reason is simple: the author might be well-known for having biases, or the author may have a reputation for not being reliable. Conversely, the author might be well-respected and considered very fair. If you know who the author is, you can find out what his or her reputation is, and if it's not so good, you don't want to use what was in their article. With science, you especially want to know about the author's reputation, because he or she might be someone who believes in pseudo-science (fake science, like myths) or they might be someone who is paid by a particular corporation to have a corporate point of view, rather than a scientific point of view. And finally, you may want to see if this author wrote the article a long time ago; years later, he or she may have changed, due to new information or different circumstances from when the research was first done.
You need to answer this question because we don’t do homework. Your teacher is looking for your critical thinking skills and how well you understood the lesson. Not ours.
Dehumanizing biases are prejudices or stereotypes that reduce individuals or groups to objects or animals, stripping them of their humanity and dignity. These biases can lead to mistreatment, discrimination, or violence against marginalized groups.
