Entry 3_Ngô Ngân Hà

Identifying Bias

[Item 1]



-Stereotype.

-Analysis:
+Message: Women have much more clothes than men but they are not enough for them. In contrast, men are satisfied with their little clothes.
+It is believed that women are interested in fashion. They have too much clothes but they always think they have nothing to wear. Men are simpler than women. Although they have a little, they feel happy with this and think it is enough. That is a mental image of group based on their own opinion. In fact, not all women or men feel like that. There are many women (not all) who do not bother with fashion and they are satisfied with their garments while some men are keen on getting dress.

[Item 2]
Vietnamese proverb

 Mấy đời bánh đúc có xương

Mấy đời dì ghẻ mà thương con chồng. 



-Prejudice.

-Analysis: It is believed that stepmother is often shrewish and wicked so they do not love her husband’s child. It is a negative opinion about women without knowledge of the fact. In fact, many women care about their husband’s child even consider as her real child. 


[Item 3]





-Discrimination.

-Analysis: In this picture, you can see that a person wants to find a new roommate who is easy-going, friendly except for Thanh Hoa person. That is discrimination in action which has root from a negative judgment: Thanh Hoa people are bad, selfish and unfriendly. It is unfair and unreasonable attitude because not all Thanh Hoa people are like that. Many of them are quite kind.

5 nhận xét:

  1. I totally agree with your ideas in 3 items. However, in item 1, "clothes" is a countable noun, so you can not use "much more clothes than", "too much clothes" and "Although they have a little"

    1. In item 1, you mentioned women had too much clothes but they always thought they had nothing to wear, which is a negative idea; Thus, the bias is prejudice that women are fairly demanding.

    1. It's not just negative judgment. It's just mental imagine people often think about women and men. Moreover, you don't pay attention to both man and woman in this picture. I mentioned not only women but also men so you see that man's imagine here is not obviously negative T.T
