3. Abstraction BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS

PREJUDICE- refers to a preconceived opinion or feeling toward a person based
solely on their affiliation with a group. This feeling may be translated into action by
discriminating against the person or members of the target group. An individual may

be prejudiced against others based on factors such as race, age, gender, sexual
orientation, class status, religion, nationality, and amongst other things.
Examples: a) “I don’t want Blacks living in my neighborhood!” b) “I don’t want Jews
owning businesses in my town!” c) “I don’t want a Muslim community center in lower
Manhattan!”
These examples clearly show that there are prejudices going on. The statements
prejudge against black people, Jews, and Muslims basically because of their race,
nationality and religion. Even though they have not done anything wrong yet, but
because of their backgrounds, people tend to prejudge them and eventually
discriminate them. These are very common in our society even up to the present time.
Another term that causes confusion and is often used interchangeably with
“prejudice” is “bias”. But these two terms differ from each other. Let’s examine
how it differs from the former. Bias is a tendency to lean in a certain direction,
either in favor of or against a particular thing. To be truly biased means to lack
a neutral viewpoint on a particular topic. Somewhere along the line, bias took
on a negative connotation. 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 tend to think poorly
of it. Examples: a) In other Christian sects, the preacher position is only given
to males and not to females. b) Sectarian schools only accept students who
share the same religious beliefs. c) Some churches don’t accept women who
wear pants instead of dresses or skirts during their services.

4. Application Create a Skit or Dialogue:

 Same group as the first activity, ask them to create a short skit or dialogue
portraying a scenario involving biases or prejudices.
 Performances should highlight the consequences and potential resolutions.
