Entry 3_ Bui Thi Hoai Thuong

 

ENTRY 3

Identifying Bias




ITEM 1:



-     Stereotype
- Analysis: This ad shows us that it is such a weak woman that couldn’t open ketchup bottle. It is a stereotype that all women are weak.

ITEM 2:



-          Prejudice.
-          Analysis: The picture expresses the negative attitude of the Vietnamese toward products made in China.

ITEM 3:


-          Discrimination
-          Analysis: The picture expresses the racial discrimination through the line separating the white people’s area and the black people’s one. Moreover, while the white people use golden forks and knifes, the black people use normal ones and even the man in indigo eats by hands.

  2. I think your entry is quite good. I have same idea that item 1 contain just stereotype. In addition, I suggest that you should choose different types of examples like video or newspaper, do not just choose image.

    1. i think, your item 1 also contains prejudice.
      it is easier to open the ketchup bottle with aluminum caps.
      so, " you mean a woman (or a weak person) can open it?": stereotype.
      " you mean a woman (or a unintelligent person" can open it?": prejudice
