<p>Well, I am going to take the AP World History Exam this year and I am having trouble trying to understand how to write a DBQ Essay, well, a part of the DBQ Essay. I understand everything except the analyzation of bias and point of view in at least two documents. Can someone please explain how to do it?</p>
<p>Analyzation of bias means just what it sounds like. Look at the year the document was taken from (I know they provide them for US and Euro), who the author is, and what country it comes from (usually discernable from the text or the author's name). Put these together and you get a point of view which can tell you what the bias is. If for example, you know that one particular economist was raised in the slums and promotes higher minimum wage and broad social programs and the document talks about how statistics show that raising the standard of living for lowerst 10% raises it for everyone, then the bias is towards the poor -- you already know that from the author's past work.</p>
