Bias - the word “bias” can be defined as a

lack of objectivity or an inclination to favor
one person or thing over another. It may
also be defined as an inclination of a
person’s personality or outlook which can
result into a personal and sometimes
unreasoned judgment.
“Let us have some examples.”
 Gender Bias - If an HR officer has a

bias TOWARDS men, he/she might
hire only men because he/she might
believe they will better employees in
the company. While, if an HR officer
has a bias AGAINST men, he/she
might hire a woman than a man
even if that man has a better
qualification for the job.
 Religion Bias - If a person has a bias

TOWARDS his/her own religion,
he/she might think that his/her
religion’s beliefs and practices is
better or superior to other religions.
Whereas, if a person has a bias
AGAINST a specific religion, he/she
might give bad or rude comments or
even criticize that religion’s beliefs
and practices.
 Political Bias - If a person has a bias
TOWARDS a certain politician or
political party, that person might
tend to speak positive things about
the politician that belongs to that
political party. However, if a person
has a bias AGAINST that certain
political party, he/she might not
support or quickly disagree with
others who have opposite political
opinion or view with him/her.
“I have here a short clip and I want you to

describe your insights about it.” “Bias could be seen in the video because of
unfair label between men and women.”
(Plays the video)
(1494) Pantene 'Labels Against Women'

others in a negative way or negative side.”
“That is correct. The video shows that men
are superior to women by giving them
unfair labels.”
“When you put ‘label’ on someone, how do

you become biased?”
“Yes, that is right. Giving someone a label is

like something you are ousting them from
the others. It’s like you are giving them a
favor or in opposite.” “C. It is believed that Ana won the

Film) 4 APRIL - YouTube

“Do not judge the book by its cover.”
“At first, how did the woman see the guy?”
“Very good. The video shows how the

looking at him. I guess some of you may
think of something about that guy, too. Am
I right?”
“What lesson can we capture from the

video?”
“Very good.”
“This video also shows how we look other

people. By simply looking at them, maybe
we can create our judgement unconsciously

they act.”
“Here is an infographic for you to be able to

see the differences between bias and
prejudice.”
“Bias is a tendency to favor or support or

“Again class, what are the differences of

infographics?”

prejudice, let’s now relate it to our subject,
specifically to studying literature.”
“Class, why do you think it is important that

you are aware of bias and prejudice when
studying literature?”
“Very good!”
Identifying an author’s bias and prejudice in

a piece of literature is an important skill in 1. the author uses inflammatory
critical reading. It is important that you language: in the most extreme
examine what you read to know whether cases, racial epithets, slurs, etc.;
the author is telling the truth and not giving 2. the author consistently makes
us his/her biased or prejudiced opinions claims whose larger purpose is
about a person, thing, idea, or an issue, etc. to elevate (or demean) one
social, ethnic, national,
There are several ways to detect an author's
religious, or gender group as
possible bias and prejudice, such as:
compared to another, or all
others;
Please read, _______.
3. the author consciously presents
evidence that serves to tell only
one side of an event or issue,
purposefully withholding or
ignoring information that may
shed the opposing view in a
more positive light;
4. the author manufactures,
falsifies and/or dishonestly cites
evidence to present his or her
case in a more positive light.
Readers like you may likely to encounter

bias and prejudice in primary sources such
as newspaper editorials, political cartoons.
You may also see it on "private" sources

such as letters, diaries, etc., they are often
carelessly biased since they are generally
intended for a certain or specific audience
that may share the author's view on an
issue.
Also, it may be seen even in secondary

sources written by highly regarded authors
who are not immune to bias and prejudice.
It is necessary that you carefully examine
any author's idea, argument, and methods
in writing to determine if the he or she has
consciously or unknowingly become biased
or prejudiced in writing.

ASYNCHRONOUS TASK
I. Directions: Read and analyze the paragraphs below. Determine the sentence or part
of the paragraph that shows bias or prejudice. Identify the keyword being described
by the paragraph and the image by arranging the given clue letters of this box.
1. Around the world, it is much more

difficult for women to find a career
than for men. Employers prefer to
run high-quality jobs using male
workers. The view of accepting
women for change is difficult in the
immediate future. It is assumed
that when it comes to manpower,
a woman cannot replace the
talents and abilities of a man.
Thus, an organization only hires
and employs men, and women are
left at home.

2. During the peak of COVID-19, we were

deprived of receiving goods and
assistance from the private sectors.
They selectively choose the people
who could also reciprocate their
cause. We were judged by our
appearance, attitudes, behavior,
education, and job. We, the poor
people, are deliberately considered
worthless in society. Any help is
difficult for us to get because only a
few have a heart and are open to
people like us.
