statements?
(These statement are unfair prefernce for or against
something.
- Why is it unfair?
(Because it is based on opinion or generalizarion not
usually from facts.)

Let us now proceed to the definition of bias. What is bias?

Bias refers to an author’s expression of his/her own opinion on

a particular issue without examining and presenting enough
evidences. This arises from the author’s thinking which may
be influnced by personal beliefs, culture, attitudes,
preferences, and past experiences.

To further understand bias in writing, refer to the illustration

below

skills # 2 reader to believe on his/her own stand of the issue by in the discussion.)
 giving inaccurate information of false impression even
with or without the intention of misleading the reader.

How do you determine the author’s biases?

- To determine the author’s biases and to understand
his/her underlying purpose, you must look at the use
of evidence and diction.
- Evidences can be in a form of facts and information,
testimonies and direct observations, scientific and
legal findings, and anecdotes and philosophical
evidences.
- Diction refers to the words or expressions that help
convey the stand of the author towards an issue.
These words and expression may indicate a positive
or negative connotation or meaning.

The table below shown an example of a word with a positive

and a negative connotation.

Positive Connotation Negative Connotation

My new neighbor is a mature My new neighbor looks too
woman. mature in that dress.

The word ‘mature’ means that
the woman is well-mannered.
This implies the author’s
positive view towards the
woman.
The word ‘mature’ that the
woman looks old in her dress.
This implies the author’s
negative view towards the
woman.

Here are some guide questions to check the author’s use of

evidence.
 Does the author present, more positive evidences
to support one side of an issue?
 Does the author present more negative evidence
to disprove one side of an issue?
Here are some guide questions to check the author’s diction.
 Does the author use more positive words and
expression to present one side of an issue?
 Does the author use more negative words and
expressions to present one side of an issue?

Let’s use the guide questions above when we examine the

paragraph below:
Summer vacation is the favorite season for the most
people. Some go to the beach; others go to the mountains.
These places will make them feel closer to the nature.
However, having a vacation by the sea differs from having a
vacation in the mountains.
People can swim, surf, or dive on the beach. Others can
pick up shells, go sunbathing, or even play volleyball. Also, the
sound of the sea waves hitting the shore can make people feel
more relaxed. While sitting on wooden chairs, people can
watch the sun as it sets down.
On the other hand, people can also explore the mountain
 side to experience the strong and fresh air. People can hike
and do bonfire. However, hiking in the mountains can be
dangerous because of the presence of wild animals and the
danger of falling.
Whichever, people choose, they can experience a lot of
enjoyable adventure. Yet, there are many things people can do
in the beach than in the mountain.

Following the guide questions give in the discussion, let’s

analyze the evidences and diction used by the author.
Going to the beach
- can swim, surf, or
dive
- can pick up shells, go
sunbathing, or even
play volleyball
- can make people feel
more relaxed
- can watch the sun as
it sets down
Going to the Mountain
- has a strong and
fresh air
- can hike and do
bonfire
- can be dangerous
- presence of wild
animals and the
danger of falling

For the evidences:

Based on the table above, you will notice the author has
presented more positive evidences of going to the beach than
going to the mountain.
You will also notice that there is an unfair presentation of the
evidence. The author emphasized the danger on going to the
mountain but failed to present the danger on going to the
beach like drowning.

For the diction:

The author used more positive words such as highlighting the
benefits of going to the beach, but he/she used negative
words when referring to going to the mountain such as
dangerous and danger. These words give a negative
impression to the readers making the author biased as he/she
was favoring one idea over the other. He/ she also failed to
present both advantages and disadvantage about going to the
beach and going to the mountain in a more balanced and
objective way.

However, they often cause road
congestions and traffic jams. Also, they are obsolete that may
compromise the safety of the passengers and may pose a

With these, phasing them out appears to be a much better
choice.
