C. Discussion:
Bias and prejudice are closely related and often used interchangeably. Both have a
negative impact on our dealings. Let us explore the differences between these concepts.
Bias is a tendency to look at things in a certain way, in preference to another way. It
means a tendency to favor or support or against a particular one person, group, thing,
or point of view over another resulting in unfairness. Examine the scenarios in the video
you have watched a while ago.
Common Types of Bias
1. Anchoring Bias -This happens when people are too relied on current information or
the initial information they find in decision-making.
Example: From what I know, I chose you because I believed others are not as good as
you.
2. Media Bias -This happens when the journalists and news producers in the mass media
select what to report and cover.
Example: As a witness to the incident, I can attest that the reported news is far from
what I see because the events are reversed and untrue.
3. Confirmation - This happens when one tends to search for, interpret, favor and
remember information supporting one's belief and views.
Example: When he found out that the report did not agree with his views, he
immediately researched facts to prove that he was right.
4. Conformity - This happens when one makes a wrong or uncomfortable decision to fit
in to please the group of people.
Example: Although I did not agree with my will, I went with them to be happy. I was
ashamed of my own helpless decision.
5. Halo Effect - This happens when one sees the wonderful thing about a person and let
the perceptions on everything else about
that person be distorted.
Example: Among the applicants, only Leo's papers were completely reviewed because
the manager was impressed with his awards and commendations.
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 a strong influence on how people behave and interact with others, particularly
with those who are different from another group.
Types of Prejudices
1. Racism - This is the idea that groups of people exhibit different personality
characteristics and can be separated based on the dominance of one race over another.
Example: All Chinese in the country are considered virus carriers due to the COVID-19
disease.
2. Sexism - This is a prejudice based on sex or gender.
Example: Women are considered weak and lack the strength and ability to do the work
of men.
3. Classism - This is a prejudice based on social class or grouping of individuals based
on wealth, occupation, income, education, and social network.
Example: The poor are uneducated and do not help our country; they should not be
treated well by the government.
4. Ageism - This is a prejudicial attitude towards older people, old age, and the aging
process. Example: All adults should not be hired because they only become a burden,
especially those who deserve to retire.
5.Religious prejudice - This is the attitude towards a person or group differently
because of the particular beliefs about religion. Example: He lost his job because of his
religion, which was believed to conflict with his employer.
These types of prejudice can also be a form of bias. Similarly, a person can be biased
because of prejudice. However, prejudice and discrimination are different. Prejudice
refers to a person's thought or attitude, while discrimination is the behavior acted upon
by a prejudice regarding a certain group of people.
D. Exercise:
The teacher divides the class into 2 groups to create a role play or skit. The teacher
will give them task to perform, the first group will act bias and the other one will
create an act regarding their chosen topic. The teacher will provide the rubrics.
E. Generalization:
The teacher will threw different scenarios and students will guess if the scenario is
an example of prejudice or bias.
E. Evaluation/Assessment
Directions: Identify whether the statement for each item shows bias or prejudice.
Write B if it is bias and write P if it is prejudice.
1. A mentally disabled person should not be allowed to go to school. They
do not possess the capacity to learn.
2. He's considered dumb because his grades in all subjects are poor.
3. Being a new member of the group, his opinion was rejected during the meeting as
the senior officers underrated this.
4. The Filipino English teachers were not lucky enough to be selected in the
