ENTRY 3 _ PHAN TIẾN ĐẠT

ITEM1:

-         Racial discrimination
-         ANALYSIS: It’s very clear that this video has bias. Firstly, you can see 2 opposite person: one white policeman and one black man. Secondly, the police man says to the black man that: “ You are going to be arrested……..because you are a black……black people steal.” . The black says that “ he wasn’t stealing anything. The police reply that “ just in case”.It means that all the black people are accused to be stealers. In fact, the numbers of stealers are not dependent on the race.=> racial discrimination

-         ITEM2:

-          Stereotype
-          ALNALYSIS: In the picture, there are a lot of characteristics of British that many people will think about when mentioning the British. These are stereotypes of British.
ITEM3:

-          Scapegoating
-          ANALYSIS  :In the news, the language the author and Dr Pham Xuan Hai used are very emotive such as “tội đồ, kẻ, chiếm đất, thủ phạm..(culprit, land encroaching...). The purpose of using this kind of language is to totally accuse the motorcycle of causing traffic jam. However, in fact, there are a lot of reasons for traffic jam. They shouldn’t accuse the motorcycle as the only one reason.
ITEM4:
Cheapest is the dearest
-Prejudice
-ANALYSIS: It’s really a negative judgment that all the cheap things are very bad. Many cheap things are quite good in quality (or you can understand not all the cheapest are dearest). This conclusion is based on the opinion of some people,not based on knowledge of the facts.

IN ADDITION: ( A clip about racial discrimination in real life J )

  1. As far as i concern, your item 4 has prejudice is correct, but the analysis has some mistake, i think. First, as our teacher had said, prejudice should be the bad thought of many people, not some. Further more, it should be based on the fact. In my opinion, "Cheapest is the dearest" is the fact but this idea is bias because not all the cheapest is the dearest. :)

  2. in item 2, i think you should analyse more to show the bias. From the image, you can see many characteristics of the British which are the views of many different people. Their opinions are stated without paying attention to individual differences, so it's not true for all the British :D
