Not saying that Google Search itself is biased, but that it can reveal the bias of internet users and all of the "information" posted online. Within the proper context, seeing potential searches can be very informative about cultural perceptions, online communities and prejudices. Be cautious and judicious in how (or if) you use this within a classroom setting. See comments for additional results of additional "religious" searches.

Scoop.it!
A heartfelt & moving story of how instruments made from recycled trash bring hope to children whose future is otherwise spiritless.
Seth Dixon's insight:
I've shared this video before, but this worthy project is now asking for assistance on kickstarter and I feel it merits reposting. This video shows that the human spirit of beauty and joy can come shining through from the poorest of places. Slums are not new, but rapid population growth coupled with rural-to-urban migration patterns have led to an increasing amount of slums. Despite all the stereotypical images of destitute poverty, slums can also be places with a strong vibrant communities with residents filled with innovation, hope and ambition. For more on this organization, see their Facebook page. Tags: urban, squatter, poverty, South America, community, Paraguay.

Another example of frugal innovation and what we can learn from people who are often times discounted.
