Entry 3
Identifying Bias

Item 1:
Người đồng tính và bi kịch bị gia đình chối bỏ

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.
<!--[if !supportLists]-->-          <!--[endif]-->Discrimination
<!--[if !supportLists]-->-          <!--[endif]-->Analysis: It is clear that there is bias toward the gay and the lesbian from their families. These families badly behave the gay and the lesbian such as letting them alone, not being interested in them.

Item 2:


<!--[if !supportLists]-->-          <!--[endif]-->Stereotype
<!--[if !supportLists]-->-          <!--[endif]-->Analysis: The picture shows that young women represent the glamor, attraction which is used to advertise the cosmetics. This stereotype deeply lies in people’s thoughts.

 Item 3:


 -          Prejudice
Analysis: The man in the picture has the feelings of interiority himself because of the racial discrimination. That makes him put a picture of the white person’s face in front of his face in hoping that he receives the behavior fairness from public

  1. There are some grammar mistakes in your analysis. For example, in item 3, " the behavior fairness" should be "the fairness".

  2. I do not totally agree with the way you analyse.
    _In the 1st item, It can be seen clearly that there is obvious an discrimination in treating homosexual. they are badly-treated and even their family lays violence hands on them. Thus, due to the action made by people around toward homosexual, this situation can be named Discrimination.
    _In the 3nd item, the picture is a kind of poster for a cosmetic product. The woman who is pictured can be called stereotype because not all customers who use this product can have such a beauty skin as hers.

  3. Dear my friend,
    You did understand the concept of stereotype but your analysis of the 2nd item is not adequate. The key nature of stereotype consists of two obligatory elements: it is a mental image, and, it doesn't concerns individual differences. Therefore, you should add to your analysis "Not all young women represent the glamor, attraction".

  4. I think Item 3 should be discrimination. Prejudice in action of people make him put a picture of the white person’s face in front of his face. His purpose is that He wants to receive something to be equal to white people.

  5. i don't agree with Mai because discrimination is treating people in a less favorable way because of they are members of a particular group.In the picture, this statement doesn't express through action of prejudicers

  6. I think your item 2 is not clear enough. You say it is an advertisement-> it means when people use cosmetics in this advs, they will have beautiful appearance like the girl in the poster-> it doesn’t imply that people always think women are beautiful, attractive. It just tell viewers see they will be beautiful only when using cosmetics. It’s ok if you don’t mention this is an advertisement.
    However, your idea here is similar to an example of men in text books so you should find another interesting bias 
