DISCUSSION
Student: The students in the scenario are
selfish, biased, and judgmental.

Bias and Prejudice are closely related and often used

interchangeably. Both have a negative impact on our
dealings. Let us explore the differences between these
concepts. Student: Sad. If they reject me, I will

in the situation? In the history, black people are being
separated from white people. (students says no)/(students asks
questions)

Before we proceed to the common types of bias lets

have a short activity. ( 10 minutes )

In a ½ crosswise, Write FAIR if the person in each

statement is not one-sided or does not show
favoritism. Write BIAS if the person favors or is
against someone/something. If it is biased, provide an
explanation by thinking of a possible reason behind it.

1. Our teacher gave each one of us a cute red planner

and we really liked it!

2. The stepmother cares only for her biological

daughter and rejects the daughter of her husband. 3.
The manager gave extra bonus to his employees
regardless of their positions.

4. A rich grandmother paid for the fake DNA test

results because she did not like her grandchild.

5. The class officer who was assigned to return the

answer sheets did not return the paper of his rival
classmate because he wanted him to lose one paper for
compilation.

1. Fair because….

Ok ms. Please read

Thank you

Confirmation bias is a psychological term for the

human tendency to only seek out information that
supports one position or idea.

Example: When he found out that the report did not

agree with his views, he immediately researched facts
to prove that he was right.

4. Conformity - This happens when one makes a

wrong or uncomfortable decision to fit in to please the
group of people.

Example: Although I did not agree with my will, I

went with them to be happy. I was ashamed of my
own helpless decision.

5. Halo Effect - This happens when one sees the

wonderful thing about a person and let the perceptions
on everything else about that person be distorted.

Example: Among the applicants, only Leo's papers

were completely reviewed because the manager was
impressed with his awards and commendations.

Now that you know the different types of biases, let’s

have a short activity. Write your answer on a ½
crosswise. (10 minutes )
Recall the times when you experienced or witnessed
biases, maybe in your group of friends, at school, on
social media, or on television. List down at least three
biases and share how you manage to deal with those
biases.

BIASES YOUR SOLUTION

Pass your paper

Now let us know the definition of prejudice and its

different types.

Prejudice refers to pre-judging before looking at the

evidence. It is an unfavorable opinion or feeling
beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason.
Prejudice can have a strong influence on how people
behave and interact with others, particularly with those
who

are different from another group.

In ¼ sheet of paper answer this activity.

Which aspect of prejudice that each scenario below

anchors on. Choices are found in the box. disability
language occupation race social class

1. The less fortunate families were insulted by the

organization manager, saying that they were barefaced
to attend the party of the rich clans.

2. The hotel refused to accept the Blacks because they

were afraid of them.

3. A Cebuano poem was rejected because the checker

hated every single word.

4. A social media influencer belittled a tricycle driver

by saying the latter would not be successful and
remain as poor forever.

5. A student with autism was made the center of fun

by his rude classmates

Answer

1. Social Class
2. Race
3. Language
4. Occupation
5. Disability

Types of Prejudices

1. Racism - This is the idea that groups of people

exhibit different personality characteristics and can be
separated based on the dominance of one race over
another.

Example: All Chinese in the country are considered

virus carriers

due to the COVID-19 disease.

2. Sexism - This is a prejudice based on sex or gender.

Example: Women are considered weak and lack the

strength and ability to do the work of men.

3. Classism - This is a prejudice based on social class

or grouping of individuals based on wealth,
occupation, income, education, and social network.

Example: The poor are uneducated and do not help our

country; they should not be treated well by the
government.
 4. Ageism - This is a prejudicial attitude towards
older people, old age, and the aging process.

Example: All adults should not be hired

because they only become a burden, especially those

who deserve to retire.

[Link] prejudice - This is the attitude towards a

person or group differently because of the particular
beliefs about religion.

Example: He lost his job because of his religion,

which was believed to conflict with his employer.

These types of prejudice can also be a form of bias.

Similarly, a person can be biased because of prejudice.
However, prejudice and discrimination are different.
Prejudice refers to a person's thought or attitude, while
discrimination is the behavior acted upon by a
prejudice regarding a certain group of people.

Take a look of the picture below. Try to analyze this

situation.

1. What attitude or behavior do the students

show against their rejected group member?

2. If you were on the shoes of the rejected

member, what would you feel? What would
 you do? Justify your actions.

3. Do the statements show bias and prejudice?

Which one is a biased statement? What about
a prejudiced statement?

“Well done, class! Do you have any questions? Any

clarifications?”

ANALYSIS

Now that you know the different types of Bias and

Prejudice, let us differentiate the two by answering
some activity

Activity 3: Prejudicially Biased Classification
