Item

- Stereotype
-
Mentioning about Muslim women, people always think about a woman in a burqa -
an enveloping outer garment worn by women in some Islamic traditions to cover
their bodies when in public.

However, the girl misunderstood it. The prejudice is women know nothing about
technology.

a child. Therefore, they are not allowed to adopt children.

Item 1: i think it is an example of discrimination because traditionally, Muslim women are not allowed to show their faces in public
Trả lờiXóaI dont agree with Xuan, it is stereotype bias in item 1 because when people see a woman wears enveloping outer garment,they will think that she comes from a Muslim country
Trả lờiXóaIn Item 4, I have a small comment about your analysis, I can not see "environmental pollution" in two opinions above.
Trả lờiXóaI think they just mention the destruction in cultural life here
I đid not capture the opinion blaming environmental pollution for immigrants in Hanoi, but you can find it in the source.
XóaI think that in item 2 it should be assumption because when the girl asks a boy that "What does USB stand for?" and the boy replies that "universal serial bus" but the girl doean't understand or I mean the girl misconcepts abt the meaning of USB "you've thinking of a bus full of cereal flying through space aren't you?".:)
Trả lờiXóaI agree that the girl misunderstands the meaning of USB, but she does not give any conclusion. Assumption is wrong conclusion based on limited knowledge of the facts. In this case, it's just the wrong thinking not the wrong conclusion.
XóaItem 3: I think it's just prejudice. They haven't done anything against homosexual people, have they?
