Quarter 3, Week 2 – Bias and Prejudice

 

Our lesson in week 2 is all about Bias and Prejudice. Our lesson in week 2 is all about Bias and Prejudice. Bias is the propensity to choose one person, group, item, or point of view over another in an unjust manner. And the author intentionally withholds or ignores information that might release the opposite viewpoint in a better positive light (bias). The author consciously submits evidence that helps to tell simply one side of an event or issue, intentionally withholding or disregarding information that might cast the opposing view in a better positive light. On the contrary, Prejudice is a negative view or sentiment developed without information, thinking, or reason before it is spoken. It only means to pass judgment on others before getting to know them. Likewise, it is an unnecessary or inaccurate (naturally unfavorable) mindset toward a person based simply on the individual's social group membership.

We have our Anglo-American Literature and it's Nicholas Charles Sparks. Nicholas Charles Sparks (born 31, December 1965) is an American novelist, screenwriter, and philanthropist. He has published twenty-two novels and two non-fiction books, all of which have been New York Times bestsellers, with over 115 million copies sold worldwide in more than 50 languages. Eleven of his novels have been adapted to film, including The Choice, The Longest Ride, The Best of Me, Safe Haven (on all of which he served as a producer), The Lucky One, Message in a Bottle, A Walk to Remember, Nights in Rodanthe, Dear John, The Last Song, and The Notebook. Sparks lives in North Carolina, where he contributes to a variety of local and national charities. He also sets many of his novels in that area. In 2011, he launched the Nicholas Sparks Foundation, a 501 nonprofit committed to improving cultural and international understanding through global education experiences for students of all ages.

I understood that Prejudice and bias are two factors in society which prove to be disastrous in promoting an air of peace and harmony between human beings. bias refers to a thought of an individual or a group that is leaning toward an area of life such as politics, society, religion, or economics while prejudice is the process of making a decision or judging something with a premature mind and making your facts instead of knowing the real truth about a person or a thing.
