IDENTYFYING BIAS
Item 1


v  Stereotype and Prejudice
v  Analysis :
+ Message: Black people are the root of the poverty, epidemic, social evils and other big problems.
+ In the picture you can see that a man’s face  is sticked  lots of names of grave social problems and social evils. It means that blacks cause the poverty, depidemic,  evils and other big problems in our society. Society creates identities of all black people being responsible for  the poverty, epidemic, evils and other big social problems as a tereotype . It is incorrect because not all black people cause these problems. In additions, not only blacks but also white people cause these problems. Besides, the picture contains prejudice of people about race ( blacks are always bad people).
Item 2

The killing of Americans and their civilian and military allies is a religious duty for each and every Muslim....We--with God's help--call on every Muslim who believes in God and wishes to be rewarded to comply with God's order to kill Americans and plunder their money whenever and wherever they find it.

[The September 11th attack] gave a harsh lesson to these arrogant peoples, for whom freedom is but for the white race...God willing, America's end is near

 Osama Bin Laden, in a February, 1998, appeal to Muslims, and a videotaped statement in the fall of 2001

v  Prejudice
v  Analysis:
 Osama Bin Laden appeals  Muslims to kill Americans and their civilian and military allies  and plunder their money whenever and whener. His attitude is wrong as he considers all American citizens  as Muslim’s enemies  His statement shows that he has religious  prejudice  with  non-Muslims Americans.  Lots of American citizens  are innocent . In addition, following a religion or not is human’s right.

Item 3


v  Discrimination:
v  Analysis:
In this recuitment advertising, this company doesn’t cruit students studying at Foreign Trade University because of some reasons. Obviously, there is a discrimination between students among universities. It is unequal to Foreign  Trade University’s students wanting to apply a job in this company.

  1. In item 1, I think it's just prejudice, not stereotype because the image in stereotype is neutral or positive but in this item, it is clearly negative

  3. Your entry includes some extends that I partly disagree with, particularly in the 1st item.
    In the picture, the black man’s face is sticked lots of names of grave social problems and social evils. Thus, in my opinion, the situation here should be scapegoating, because obviously the black man in particular as well as black people in general are consider the root cause a variety of social problem and evils. in other word, They are blamed and represented for bad thing in the society.

  4. I agree with Nhan and Ha that the type of bias in item 1 is prejudice only. Because it mentions a negative opinion formed about colored people. And in item 3, you have a mistake in spelling, "recruitment" not "recuitment".
