Activity 5: Self-Reflection

 Prejudices against a group based on race, sex, religion, culture, and other factors are
common in society. However, I am frequently subjected to prejudice when it comes to
my skin tone. I'm recognized as a white-skinned lady, but it doesn't make me equal.
Some black stains on my knees give the impression that I'm on some sort of medicine
for my health. Prejudice makes me feel like a half-human being. My self-esteem
decreases when people undervalue me, and I quit striving to improve myself.
Activity 3: Self-Reflection

 The previous courses' identification topics serve as a suitable springboard for bias
discussions. Bias believes that some people, ideas, or things are better than others,
which often leads to unfair treatment of some individuals. That is why other individuals
are perplexed because others do not accept their viewpoints.
 Of course, I notice bias all the time at school. Because some instructors are subjected to
what we label "favoritism," but not all of them. I also perceive prejudice in individuals
who claim to deliver facts but give their viewpoint. It has a significant impact on my
everyday life since I sometimes only want to learn new things, but the people I'm talking
to misunderstand me, and as a result, it appears that I am biased.
