Wednesday, September 21 bias reading

If you were absent yesterday, please check the blog and choose one of the 5 case scenarios. Write a 100 word response, in order to get credit for the day; otherwise it is a zero.



We are going to explore biases (including our own) over the next couple of days. 
1. Watch Trevor Noah's recent show on bias. The humor makes his keen observations more palatable.


2. Please read the following 5 pages carefully, noting especially the terms:

1. stereoptype, 2. prejudice, 3. bias and 4. discrimination.

As you carefully, read through the following five pages of text, please define these terms: stereotype, prejudice, bias and discrimination. They have specific meanings and are not interchangeable. It is important that you use these terms correctly.


To emphasize their importance and to ensure that you understand the difference, please send me a word document with the word and its definition. (class participation grade).

The readings can be enlarged for easier visibility.
