- 4. DIFFERENTIATE BIASES FROM PREJUDICES
- 5. WHAT IS BIAS? - is a tendency to favor one person, group, thing, or point of view over another, often in an unfair way. From the definition, we have two key words: favor and unfair. Therefore, bias is an unfair favor. It is because a bias person would show favor to someone which may result to another’s loss most especially if the other person is equally deserving.
- 6. EXAMPLES Michael and Michelle are classmates. They both misbehave in the class. The teacher punishes Michael and not Michelle. You and your workmate both need a table in the office but the boss bought a table only for your workmate.
- 7. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. - Bias is an inclination toward (or away from) one way of thinking often based on how you were raised. To be truly biased means to lack a neutral viewpoint on a particular topic. Somewhere along the line, bias took on a negative connotation. We tend to think it’s a bad thing but that’s not always true. If you’re biased toward something, then you lean favorably toward it; you tend to think positively of it. Meanwhile, if you’re biased against something, then you lean negatively against it; you think poorly of it.
- 8. BIAS IN BEHAVIOR Examples: If someone has a bias about women they can take two different approaches. If they’re biased toward women they might hire only women because they feel they make better employees for some gender related reason. Conversely if they’re biased against women they might hire a man over a more- qualified female candidate. Biases toward certain religions can also manifest in two their different ways. If someone is biased toward their own religion, they will think their beliefs and practices are superior to any other form of religion. If, however, they’re biased against certain religion they might show it by making rude or insensitive comments or go as far as vandalizing religious buildings.
- 9. HERE ARE TYPES OF BIAS YOU CAN FIND IN THE MEDIA: Advertising bias - consist of selecting media stories based on what will please advertisers. For example, what if an online news outlet’s biggest sponsor was a major airline? The outlet may choose only to highlight positive stories relating to that airline and only negative incidents regarding other airlines. Concision bias -is when a media outlets report views that can be summed up in a few words rather than those which require lengthier explanations. This means carefully selecting catchy headlines and opting for shorter stories that can be consumed faster than lengthier more detailed pieces. Corporate bias - picking stories that are pleasing to the owners of a media organization or network. For example, a celebrity news outlets CEO might also own a luxury jewelry company, it wouldn’t be farfetched to see that same outlet post favorable articles about celebrities wearing that designer’s accessories. Mainstream bias consists of reporting the same thing everyone else is reporting – and avoiding offensive stories-so readers and viewers don’t turn away. Sensationalism is a form of bias where in a media outlet chooses to report extraordinary events in favor of everyday events. This can make these extraordinary events seem more common that they really are.
- 10. WHAT IS PREJUDICE? - is an unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without prior knowledge, thought or reason. It simply means to prejudge others. An example for this is stereotyping. Stereotyping is having an over generalized belief about a particular group especially if it is negative, and is applied to every member of that group.
- 11. EXAMPLES Girls are not good at sports. Boys are messy and unclean. All Blacks outside of the United States are poor. Children do not enjoy healthy food. - You did not do anything against the person but your thoughts, your advance or unreasonable thoughts about him/her especially if it is negative, it is already a prejudice. It is an act of pre-judgement.
