BIASES AND

PREJUDICES
By: MS. GINALYN M. PRESBITERO
WHY DO YOU THINK
LISTENING IS IMPORTANT?
 PREJUDICE AND BIAS ARE TWO
FACTORS IN THE SOCIETY WHICH
PROVE TO BE DISASTROUS IN
PROMOTING AIR OF PEACE AND
HARMONY BETWEEN HUMAN BEINGS.

THE KEY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN

PREJUDICE AND BIAS IS THAT
 BIAS REFERS TO A THOUGHT OF AN
INDIVIDUAL OR A GROUP WHICH IS
LEANING TOWARDS AN AREA OF LIFE SUCH
AS POLITICS, SOCIETY, RELIGION OR
ECONOMICS WHILE PREJUDICE IS THE
PROCESS OF MAKING DECISION OR
JUDGING SOMETHING WITH A PREMATURE
MIND AND MAKING YOUR OWN FACTS
INSTEAD OF KNOWING THE REAL TRUTH
ABOUT A PERSON OR A THING.
WHAT IS PREJUDICE?
A JUDGMENT FORMED BY AN INDIVIDUAL WHO IS
BASED ON THOUGHTS THAT ARE PREMATURE AND ARE
NOT BASED ON THOROUGH STUDY OR RESEARCH ABOUT
A GROUP OF PEOPLE OR INDIVIDUALS IS REFERRED TO AS
‘PREJUDICE’. PREJUDICE CAN BE TERMED AS ONE OF THE
NEGATIVE FACTORS THAT ARE PRESIDING IN OUR
SOCIETIES AND THEY HAVE BEEN THERE FOR A VERY
LONG TIME NOW. CONCENTRATION WAS PUT UPON
BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER AND CLOSE TO EACH
OTHER. ON THE OTHER HAND, THE FACTORS SUCH AS
PREJUDICE PROMOTE HATRED AND RESULT IN PEOPLE
MOVING AWAY FROM EACH OTHER AND RELATIONSHIPS
ARE LOSING THEIR MEANING.
 PREJUDICE IS A SET OF THOUGHTS WHICH ARE BASED
UPON THE EMOTIONS OF A SPECIFIC PERSON. THESE
FEELINGS MIGHT INCLUDE HATRED, FEAR AND
INSECURITY FROM ANY PERSON. IT HAS BEEN FOUND TO
BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CREATING NUMEROUS NEGATIVE
ISSUES CAUSING DESTRUCTION AND DIFFERENT
PROBLEMS ACROSS THE GLOBE. PREJUDICE AND OTHER
SUCH FACTORS ARE DISTURBING THE PEACE OF WORLD
SLOWLY AT DIFFERENT SCALES.
WHAT IS BIAS?
BIAS IS A WORD USED TO REFER TO PREJUDICE OF A
PERSON IN FAVOR OR AGAINST SOMETHING. THIS CAN BE
A THOUGHT THAT IS ABOUT SOME GROUP OR INDIVIDUAL
WHEN THAT INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP IS COMPARED TO ANY
OTHER. BIAS IS A TERM USUALLY REFERRED TO SUCH
COMPARISON BETWEEN PEOPLE OR GROUPS OF PEOPLE
THAT IS NOT JUST.
BIAS CAN ALSO REFERRED TO AS A NATURAL
INCLINATION TO AN OPINION OR THOUGHT THAT
SOMEONE HOLDS ABOUT SOMETHING. MOST OF THE TIME,
BIAS IS A TERM USED WHEN CHOICE CAN BE MADE
BETWEEN TWO THINGS AND THE PERSON SELECTS THE
THING WHICH HE/SHE HIMSELF/HERSELF LIKES.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PREJUDICE AND
BIAS?
BIAS REFERS TO A THOUGHT OF AN INDIVIDUAL OR A
GROUP WHICH IS LEANING TOWARDS AN AREA OF LIFE
SUCH AS POLITICS, SOCIETY, RELIGION OR ECONOMICS. 
PREJUDICE IS THE PROCESS OF MAKING DECISION OR
JUDGING SOMETHING WITH A PREMATURE MIND AND
MAKING YOUR OWN FACTS INSTEAD OF KNOWING THE
REAL TRUTH ABOUT A PERSON OR A THING.
BIAS CAN BE REFERRED TO AS A PROCESS WHERE YOU
PREFER ONE THING OVER ANOTHER THING. 
PREJUDICE IS THE WORD USED TO REFER TO SOMETHING
THAT YOU HATE COMPLETELY.
BIAS CAN BE REFERRED TO AS A PREJUDICE IN SOME SPECIFIC
SENSE. THIS IS THE PRIORITY THAT YOU FEEL ABOUT ONE THING AS
COMPARED TO OTHER. BIAS IS TERM USED TO REFER TO PERSON
WHO IS HAVING ANY KIND OF INFLUENCE OF OTHER PEOPLE ON
THEM. BIAS CAN SOMETIMES EVEN TAKE A PERSON SO FAR THAT HE
CONSIDERS THAT A TRUTH IS NOT TRUE AT ALL. 
PREJUDICE IS A PROCESS WHICH IS MOSTLY REFERRED TO BY
PEOPLE AS A PROCESS WHICH INVOLVES PREMATURE JUDGMENT ON
THE PART OF AN INDIVIDUAL OR A GROUP OF PEOPLE.
IN SIMPLE WORDS, BIAS IS A POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE OPINION THAT
ONE MIGHT HAVE. THIS OPINION IS MOSTLY BASED ON THE
EXPERIENCE OF A PERSON. HOWEVER, PREJUDICE IS SOMETHING
UNNATURAL IN WHICH YOU COMPLETELY AVOID OR HATE ONE
THING OR ARE ADDICTED TO SOMETHING AND LOVE IT WITHOUT
ANY SPECIFIC REASON.

 OTHER WORKS FROM
THE POST-WAR PERIOD
BY: MS. GINALYN M. PRESBITERO
WHY DO YOU THINK TAKING A STAND TO A
CERTAIN ISSUE IS IMPORTANT?
 AFTER THE WAR MOST ENGLISH WRITERS CHOSE TO
FOCUS ON AESTHETIC OR SOCIAL RATHER THAN
POLITICAL PROBLEMS; C. P. SNOW WAS PERHAPS THE
NOTABLE EXCEPTION. THE NOVELISTS HENRY GREEN,
IVY COMPTON-BURNETT, JOYCE CARY, AND LAWRENCE
DURRELL, AND THE POETS ROBERT GRAVES, EDWIN
MUIR, LOUIS MACNEICE, AND EDITH SITWELL TENDED
TO CULTIVATE THEIR OWN DISTINCTIVE VOICES.
 OTHER NOVELISTS AND PLAYWRIGHTS OF
THE 1950S, OFTEN CALLED THE ANGRY
YOUNG MEN, EXPRESSED A DEEP
DISSATISFACTION WITH BRITISH SOCIETY,
COMBINED WITH DESPAIR THAT ANYTHING
COULD BE DONE ABOUT IT.
 WHILE THE POSTWAR ERA WAS NOT A
GREAT PERIOD OF ENGLISH LITERATURE, IT
PRODUCED A VARIETY OF EXCELLENT
CRITICS, INCLUDING WILLIAM EMPSON,
FRANK KERMODE, AND F. R. LEAVIS.
 THE PERIOD WAS ALSO MARKED BY A
NUMBER OF HIGHLY INDIVIDUAL NOVELISTS,
INCLUDING KINGSLEY AMIS, ANTHONY
BURGESS, WILLIAM GOLDING, DORIS LESSING,
IRIS MURDOCH, AND MURIEL SPARK. ANTHONY
POWELL AND RICHARD HUGHES CONTINUED
TO WORK IN THE EXPANSIVE 19TH-CENTURY
TRADITION, PRODUCING A SERIES OF
REALISTIC NOVELS CHRONICLING LIFE IN
ENGLAND DURING THE 20TH CENT.
