D. Abstraction

Our lesson for today has something to do with the activities and concepts earlier. Can you guess what it is?
So today we will learn about Bias and Prejudice; on how we can distinguish the two from
each other.

i. Present the objectives for the day.

ii. Discussion of the key concepts.
Bias and prejudice are closely related and often used interchangeably. Both have a
negative impact on our feelings. Let us explore the difference between these concepts.
 (Play video presentation about bias and prejudice) https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Bias is a tendency to look at things in a certain way. It means a tendency to favor or

support or against a particular person, group, thing, point of view over another resulting in
unfairness.

Example: The picture below shows bias, why do you think so?

It is an example of bias because both news networks only covered what suits their interest.

Other examples are Group Two’s answers in the earlier activity.

1. Those vaccines are offered for free to the rich people only.
2. It is believed that Ana won the contest because of her close attachment to the judges.
3. Only intelligent students are exempted from the requirements.

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 strong influence on
how people behave and interact with others, particularly with those who are different from another
group. Example: The picture below shows bias, why do you think so?
This is prejudice based on gender. Companies favor male applicants that women without
looking at their skills.

Other examples are Group Three’s answers in the earlier activity.

1. Handicapped persons are considered impotent.
2. She should have been isolated to the COVID-19 facility because of her dry cough.
3. Hiring low-grade applicants could lead to the company’s bankruptcy.

Practice Exercise A
Read the passage below and identify if it shows bias or prejudice. Explain your answer.

Scenario 1.
Marco aims to help his family as he seeks employment at a popular establishment. When
there was an interview with the applicants, Mario was not fortunate enough to be hired
because of his speech problem. The manager sees that Marco is incompetent in dealing with
the customer even though he is smart and has a pleasing look.
The passage shows prejudice because the manager judged Marco base only on
his speech problem even though he is smart and has a pleasing look.

Scenario 2.
Christina once helped me with my previous studies. So, when I became the manager of
one of the largest companies in town and found out that Christina’s son applied for a job, I
could do nothing but accept it. Some applicants are capable of doing the job too based on
their records, but I prioritized my Christina’s son.
The passage shows bias because the manager prioritized the son of his friend who
helped him with his studies. He thinks that he owes something to his friend.

Scenario 3.

Hidden Figures Movie – Bathroom Scene

to have a bathroom in the office.
