 The guy is rich There are positive opinions

Correct! Sometimes, our opinions can be biased

or prejudiced which can help or give effect on
how we deliver our conversation, argument or
what idea that we want to convey to our readers,
and as critical readers, it is also important to
know whether the text or message is biased or
prejudiced towards the subject.

Today we are going to dive into biases and

prejudices. But first, who here has an idea of
what bias and prejudice means? What do you
think the word bias and/or prejudice means?
What is the difference? Anyone? Ma’am, bias is when you
talk about someone in a
positive or favorable
manner while prejudice is
when you only judge the
person negatively.

Let’s see if you’re correct. But first, let us read

our lesson’s objectives.

After the lesson, the students are expected to:

1. Define biases and prejudices.
2. Compare and contrast biases from
 prejudices.
3. Identify social situations showing biases or
prejudices.
4. Demonstrate examples of biased and
prejudiced situations in a short play.

Earlier you said that bias is when you talk

positively or favorably about someone, correct?
Yes.
Okay, will someone read the definition of bias on
the screen?
Me, ma’am.
 Bias is an inclination for or against one
person or group, especially in a way
considered to be unfair. It is a belief that
some ideas, people, etc. are better than
others.
 If you have to make a choice about two
things, you’ll be inclined towards the thing
you have a good impression about.
 Results in unfairness.

Thank you.
So class, biases are not all positive, it can be
negative too but it is based on your personal
experiences or beliefs or you have a reason
why you are in favor or against something.
If you have a good impression of something,
then you are biased towards it. But if you
have a bad impression of something, you are
biased against it.

Let us take a look at this example:

 Imagine that you are a teacher, and you

see two students fighting. You personally
know one of them. So, you jump to the
conclusion that it was the other student
who started the fight. Here you are being
biased towards the student you personally
know. But in reality, you really have no
idea who started the fight.

Other examples of biases:

 Gender bias- when you think one gender
is better than the other.
 Religion bias- when you think a certain
religion reigns supreme or is better.

Okay, what other situations show biases?  When you support

for a candidate
 because he/she is
your friend.
 When someone does
not charge service
fees to another
person because
they’re relatives.
 When a staff let
someone skip queue
because they know
each other.

Are we all familiar now with what we call as

Biased? Yes, ma’am.

Good, now let us define what is Prejudice and

how it differs from Bias. Will anyone read the
definition of Prejudice?
Me, ma’am.
 Prejudice is a prejudgment, an
assumption made about someone or
something before having adequate
knowledge to be able to do so with
guaranteed accuracy.
 mostly involves having negative attitudes
towards another party.
 Results in discrimination.

In other words, when you are prejudiced towards

someone or something, you are not judging
based on your own experiences but on their
membership in any group, race, etc.

Examples of Prejudices:
 Racial prejudice-you dislike someone
because of their race.

Any more examples of Prejudices that you can

think of?
 You don’t hang out
with a dark-skin
person.
 When a white
person bullies an
Asian for no reason.
 Jobs that does not
hire a person of
color.
ABSTRACTION Question:
In your own words, what is the difference
between biases and prejudices? Bias is when you treat or
think that the other is better
based on your experiences.
It leads to unfairness while
prejudice is when you judge
someone based on their
membership without
knowing them personally,
and it can cause
Why do think that it is important for us to know discrimination.
what are biases and prejudices?

So that we would be aware

of the social situations that
shows biases and
prejudices.
So that we will be able to
treat every person fairly.
So that we can show
respect to everyone and
anyone.
