ENNTRY 3- NGUYỄN THỊ BẨY
IDENTIFYING BIAS
1. Item 1
Vietnamese proverb:
Đàn ông rộng miệng thì sang
Đàn bà rộng miệng tan hoang cửa nhà
+ Prejudice
+ Analysis: This proverb shows a negative and unfavorable judgment toward women having wide mouth. According to this poverb, they are not expected to be good wives, mothers. In other words, it is beleived that they can not build up a happy family, can not "make house become home". It is unresonable attitude because there are, of course, many women are devoted. They perform their duties, responsibilities imposed on them properly.
II. Item 2
+ Discrimination
+ Analysis: In this picture, the author uses a rhetorical device- metaphor: White eggs symbolize for white people and similarly, colored egg for colored people. The two white eggs are very angry and seem to fight the colored egg. This shows the racial discrimination and colored people are victims. In other words, there is bias toward colored peple because they are normally beleived to be poor, ugly and stupid.
III. Item 3
Source:
+ Scapegoating
+ Analysis: New seatbelt desgign is exactly a gag for women and it helps decrease car accidents. It is obvious that women are blamed for causing car accidents because they talk too much and distract the drivers. There are, of course, many causes of accidents, not only women
to my mind the last item should use discrimination as type of bias because the man treats the woman in a less favorable way
Trả lờiXóaI don't agree with you. It is scapegoating. Pay attention to "New seat belt design: 45% less car accident"

Trả lờiXóaI think, item 3, type of bias is discrimination not scapegoating.
Trả lờiXóaYou know,there exists prejudice with women on cars because they are said to be talkative and interrupt drivers. A new seat-belt with a gag is designed for women to prevent their talking and causing accidents. Obviously, women are discriminated on cars because not all women are talkative on cars and many reasons cause accidents not only women as you mention above.
I do not think you are right. In my point of view, traffic accidents is a community's problems and women are blamed for it. It can not be discrimination
XóaIn item 1, you said: "This proverb shows a negative and unfavorable judgment toward women having wide mouth", i find this quite ridiculous. I think "wide mouth" means "talk a lot". You should put that "value words" in "..." to advoid misunderstand.
Trả lờiXóaItem 2, I think that is discrimination. Here, this is not any action yet. so, in my opinion, it is prejudice.
hi ! just a minor idea which came up in my mind when I saw the picture in the item 2 is that whether the two white eggs were not screaming at the colour egg, but quarreling each other and the colour egg was bothered by them, were they ? :))
