Entry 3_Phạm Thị Quế

Entry 3: Identifying Bias

Item 1: Vietnamese proverb [1]


Những người thắt đáy lưng ong
Đã khéo chiều chồng lại khéo nuôi con.

  • Stereotype
  • Analysis: This Vietnamese proverb shows a relationship between the appearance of a woman and their dignity. Vietnamese believe that woman having wasp waist will be laborious, skilful and resourceful; however, it is not totally right.


Item 2: Picture [2]

  • Discrimination
  • Analysis: This news writes about examination diseases in Children's Hospital 1 & 2 in Ho Chi Minh City. This is discrimination between people having more money and those having less money. People having less money have to wait for a longer time because people paying more money will be examined before.

Item 3: [3]


Một điều tra gây tranh cãi của Gallup cho rằng người da đen và châu Á nghèo khó có nhiều khả năng là người đồng tính hơn người da trắng giàu có.
  • Prejudice
  • Analysis: Colored and Asian people are said to be poor while fair complexion people are considered rich. This is not perfectly true and a prejudice about colored and Asian people as well

2 nhận xét:

  1. I agree with you about item 1 and 2. However, in item 3, I think the prẹudice is "posibility to be gay", not the wealth or poverty => to be prejudiced against Asian and black people

  2. I quite disapprove with your analysis in the 3rd item due to your unclear way of analyse. There is clearly a limping comparison when the author compares the coloured and the poor Asian to the rich white ones. besides, the author concludes that the Coloured and the poor Asian are more likely to be homosexual than the rich white. It can be seen that he shows negative thought as well as attitude toward the Coloured and the poor Asian. Thus, this situation should be prejudice.
