ENTRY 3
Identifying Bias



ITEM1:



- Type of bias: Discrimination.
- Analysis:
It was commonly believed that in Ancient society, women were not allow neither to go to school nor start business. In other words, it was uncommon to see women succeeding. They could not do things as men could do.They were seem differently from men. As a result, if they did go to school, or start a business or do something like that, they would be stopped by men.
The belief mentioned is a stereotype, the opinion that women could not do things as men could is a prejudice; and finally, the act of men preventing women from doing things like them (prejudice in action) is characterized as discrimination.


ITEM 2: 


"All politicians are dishonest." 


- Type of bias: Stereotype.
- Analysis:
The statement is a mental image of politicians. In fact, there may be some politicians who are dishonest, but not all  of them are dishonest. The statement associates this character to all politicians without considering those politicians who are honest. (individual differences).


ITEM 3: 


"fireman n [C] (pl -men) person whose job is to put out fires."
 
- Type of bias: Stereotype.
- Analysis:
The job of putting out fires is usually a dangerous one. Men are naturally physically stronger than women. As a result, men are normally more appropriate to do that job than women. This idea becomes a social concept and it is commonly believed that those who take this job must be men, not women. The definition represents a stereotype (fireman, not firewoman) because actually in some situations women are still be recruited to be fire fighter, not only men.


ITEM 4:




- Type of bias: Discrimination.
- Analysis:
Gender discrimination is performed clearly in the picture. The concept (prejudice) here is that girls are treated worse than boys. In the picture, the little girl is looking at the boy hungrily when he is doing the thing that she is not allowed to do.

Item 1:

Theo bà Tú Anh, khi biết con mình không bình thường, là gay, lesbian, nhiều gia đình tìm mọi cách, từ khuyên nhủ nhẹ nhàng đến chửi mắng, bỏ đói, cô lập, cưỡng bức đi điều trị tại viện tâm thần… Tất cả chỉ nhằm một mục đích thay đổi con em họ trở lại là một người bình thường. Thậm chí có người còn dùng xích nhốt con trong phòng gần 3 tuần như trường hợp của Thành, 24 tuổi, ở Hải Phòng.

Entry 3_ Nguyễn Thị Kim Thoa


IDENTIFY BIAS

Item 1: 

On October 17th, 2012, during the second presidential debate with the present US President Barack Obama, in response to a question about what the candidates would do to address gender inequality in the workplace, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said that when he was governor and looking to fill his cabinet, women's groups brought him "whole binders full of women."

A more complete excerpt of Romney's answer:

CROWLEY: Governor Romney, pay equality for women?
ROMNEY: Thank you. And important topic and one which I learned a great deal about, particularly as I was serving as governor of my state, because I had the chance to pull together a cabinet and all the applicants seemed to be men.
And I -- and I went to my staff, and I said, "How come all the people for these jobs are -- are all men." They said, "Well, these are the people that have the qualifications." And I said, "Well, gosh, can't we -- can't we find some -- some women that are also qualified?"
ROMNEY: And -- and so we -- we took a concerted effort to go out and find women who had backgrounds that could be qualified to become members of our cabinet. I went to a number of women's groups and said, "Can you help us find folks," and they brought us whole binders full of women.

The unusual phrase was immediately seized upon by critics and quickly became one of the most discussed topics on Twitter and most searched for terms on Google.

- Discrimination
- Analysis: Because of blundering out the unusual phrase "binders of women", Mr. Mitt Romney expresses the discrimination with women in working. He mentions women in less favorable way. Thus, Mitt Romney's argument is an act of discrimination.

Item 2: OMO ADVERTISEMENT


- Stereotype
- Analysis: In this advertisement, a woman appears as woman of family. She is always busy with full of housework such as cooking, cleaning house, taking care of children and washing clothes. She does all work by herself without any help from others. The advertisement builds the image of women as a modal mother and a wife in a family who meets the husband's demand.  This is a outlook of stereotype because many modern women not only take care of family but also succeed in the society.

Item 3: 

In the 1920s, American society was changing rapidly and doing so in some ways (flappers, etc) that some Americans were uncomfortable with.  So they had two choices.  They could find someone else to blame or they could admit that regular Americans were choosing to behave in these ways.  So the asserted the innocence of regular Americans and argued that it was immigrants who were causing the problems. They implemented Prohibition and immigration restriction as ways of showing this attitude.
- Scapegoating
- Analysis: Holding immigrants responsible for the change of American society. Immigrants are blamed for the cause of the problem in community.

Entry 3_ Trần Hồng Ngọc

                                                  Entry 3: Identifying Bias

                                    Item 1: Stereotype

 
Type of bias: Stereotype

Analysis
Both two pictures are USA map; however, the first one is stereotype map and the second is geo
graphycal one. From the first map, we can know some popular stereotypes among States of American.
For instance:
- Idaho people grow many potatoes
- California is well for life of the party
- Colorado is famous for snow
This image is often used to overview the typical features of whole states in America. Actually, not all people in these states have the typical features like the picture.
 
                      
                                           Item 2: Scapegoating
 
 
                                            " Poverty is the mother of crime”
                                                   – Marcus Aurelius -
Type of bias: Scapegoating
Analysis
This sentence emphasis that poverty caused crime. A lot of people think that because the poor don't have money, they are ready to do illegally to earn money such as stealing, kidnapping... Actually, not all the poor behave like this. They are not the root of all crime. Thus, they must not have responsibility for the community's problem: crime
 
                        Item 3: Discrimination
                                                 Blacks Only
While traveling with her white business manager in Clarksdale, Mississippi in September 1937, Bessie Smith was seriously injured in a car accident. Though Smith's manager, who had suffered little more than a concussion, was sent to a nearby hospital, a doctor on the scene ordered that Smith herself be sent to a "blacks only" hospital several miles away. She bled to death before they arrived.
 
Type of bias: Discrimination
Analysis: Two people in this story, a black person and a white one, were behaved in different ways:
Bessie Smith, a black person who was injured more seriously, was forced to be sent to a “blacks only” hospital several miles away instead of being rescued by the doctor in nearby hospital. Therefore, it was too late to save her life and she bled to death before they arrived.
Smith’s manager, the white who had suffered little more than a concussion, was sent to a nearby hospital and was fine.
It can be noticed that Bessie Smith  was treated unfairly because she is member of the black.

Identifying Bias

Item1:

"Cứ dăm năm lại có một lớp con gái trẻ Hà Nội lớn lên, đẹp hơn trước. Phụ nữ Hà Nội đi đâu cũng không lẫn vì nhiều vẻ. Đó là một điều thật đẹp, thật vui. Ngay giữa lòng thành phố, có thể nhận ngay ra người phụ nữ có cốt cách Hà Nội, bất kể tóc đã hoa râm, bạc trắng hay còn tóc thề để xoã ngang vai, bất luận họ đang vội vã, đang ngồi trên xe máy, đang trong rạp hát, đang ăn quà hay đang thả bộ ung dung trên vỉa hè. Phụ nữ Việt Nam vốn đôn hậu, dịu hiền, đoan trang, ý tứ. Phụ nữ Hà Nội hình như còn bình phương chất ấy lên trong tính cách, từ trong gia đình đến ngoài xã hội”.(tuyển tập “ Thú ăn chơi người Hà Nội’-Băng Sơn)

Type of Bias: stereotype

Analysis:
 In the text, the writer- Băng Sơn claims that” Phụ nữ Việt Nam vốn đôn hậu, dịu hiền, đoan trang, ý tứ. Phụ nữ Hà Nội hình như còn bình phương chất ấy lên trong tính cách, từ trong gia đình đến ngoài xã hội”.However, this is not characteristic of all the Vietnamese women and the women living in Hà Nội.The author gives opinion to honor Vietnamese women as well as women living in Ha Noi.

Type of bias: Discrimination

Analyse:
There are two men sitting around a table. The white looks polite and sits in the clean and modern half while the black is untidy and sit in dilapidated one. The black guy looks so shy and miserable, vice versa the fat while man is full of majesty.
Color discrimination can occur between persons of different races or ethnicities, or between persons of the same race or ethnicity. Here, we see clearly the existance of discrimination. Coloured people are behaved in unfavarable way in comparision with the others.
