C. Discussion
Bias is a tendency to look at things in a certain
way, in preference to another way. It means a
tendency to favor or support or against a
particula person, group, thing, or point of view
 over another resulting in unfairness.
Example:
 Female teachers give more attention to girls.
 Maureen won the contest because one of the
judges is her father.
There are 5 types of biases. Kindly read the first
1. (call a student)
It’s a bias that describes the common human
tendency to rely too heavily on the first piece of
information offered. Once an anchor is set, other
judgments are made by adjusting away from
that anchor, and there is a bias toward interpreting
other information around the anchor.
The second bias, kindly read. (call a student)
Third bias kindly read. (call a student).
The tendency to interpret new evidence as
confirmation of one's existing beliefs or theories.
Fourth bias. Please read (call a student)
The force behind our desire to fit in.
Types of Biases:
1. Anchoring Bias happens when people are
too relied on current information or the
initial information they find in decision-
making. Example: From what I know, I
chose you because I believed others are not
as good as you.
2. Media Bias happens when the journalists
and news producers in the mass media
select what to report and cover. Example:
As a witness to the incident, I can attest that
the reported news is far from what I see
because the events are reversed and untrue.
3. Confirmation-This happens when one
tends to search for, interpret, favor and
remember information supporting one's
belief and views. Example: When he found
out that the report did not agree with his
views, he immediately researched facts to
prove that he was right
4.Conformity- this happens when one
makes a wrong or uncomfortable decision
to fit in to please the group of people.
Example: Although I did not agree with my
will, I went with them to be happy. I was
ashamed of my own helpless decision.
 The last type of bias, please read (call a name)
5. Halo Effect -This happens when one sees
the wonderful thing about a person and let
the perceptions on everything else about
that person be distorted. Example: Among
the applicants, only Leo's papers were
completely reviewed because the manager
was impressed with his awards and
Our overall impression of a person influences commendations.
how we feel and think about their character.
That is the Halo effect bias.
Class, do you understand what is bias?
Yes ma’am!

Lets proceed to prejudice.

Everyone, kindly read the definition of prejudice.
Prejudice refers to pre-judging before
looking at the evidence. It is an
unfavorable opinion or feeling
beforehand or without knowledge,
thought, or reason. Prejudice can have a
strong influence on how people behave
and interact with others, particularly
with those who are different from
another group.
Example:
 Some people may consider all Muslim
women to be illiterate and
uneducated. (This is actually a
prejudice against religion and gender.)
  Until the early years of the twentieth
century, women were not allowed to
vote.
So, prejudice is a tendency to over categorize. .
There are 5 common prejudices. Kindly read the 1. Racism-is the idea that groups of people
first type. (call a student.) exhibit different personality characteristics
and can be separated based on the
dominance of one race over another.
So, racism is the discrimination towards a certain
group of people.
Example: All Chinese in the country are
considered virus carriers due to the COVID-19.
The second type, please read (call a student)
2. Sexism is a prejudice based on sex or
gender. Example: Women are considered
weak and lack the strength and ability to do
the work of men.
The third type. Please read (call a student.) 3. Classism is a prejudice based on social
class or grouping of individuals based on
wealth, occupation, income, education, and
social network. Example: The poor are
uneducated and do not help our country;
they should not be treated well by the
government.
Classicism is the differential treatment based on
social class of a person.
The fourth 1, kindly read (call a student.) 4. Ageism is a prejudicial attitude towards
older people, old age, and the aging
process. Example: All adults should not be
hired because they only become a burden,
especially those who deserve to retire.
The last type of prejudice, kindly read (call a
student.)
5. Religion This is the attitude towards a
person or group differently because of the
particular beliefs about religion. Example:
He lost his job because of his religion,
which was believed to conflict with his
employer.
These types of prejudice can also be a form of
bias. Similarly, a person can be biased because of
prejudice. However, prejudice and discrimination
are different. Prejudice refers to a person's thought
or attitude, while discrimination is the behavior
acted upon by a prejudice regarding a certain
group of people
Do you get now the difference between the bias
and prejudice?
Yes ma’am!

D. Application

F. Generalization
Possible answer:
Questions:
1. Prejudices is the pre-judgment of things
1. Based on the discussion that we had, what is the
without looking or knowing a person or
difference between Prejudices and biases?
things, while Biases is a tendency to favor,
support or agianst to a particular person or
 things.
Prejudice is an opinion against a group or an
individual based on insufficient facts and usually
unfavourable and/or intolerant. Bias is very
similar to but not as extreme as prejudice.
Someone who is biased usually refuses to accept
that there are other views than their own. It
is important to distinguish awareness of
group differences from bias and prejudice.
