Entry 3: Bias

Stereotype:

When advertising pharmatical products for men who want to improve their sex lives, advertising agencies usually use a set of virile young men who have stuff like six pack belly and seem to be healthy with muscular body. This idea is found to exist mainly due to the thought that such people has a good sexual life.

2.Prejudice: video-cartoon: Tom and Jerry

1.The episode is "His Mouse Friday." It the cartoon, the cannibals appeared African, and Jerry dressed up in black face for most of the episode to fool Tom into thinking that he was a cannibal.

It’s a direct shot at African- the Blacks that they are cannibals. This action is prejudice-racism to African.

3.Discrimination:

An organization which hires more of male candidates and rejects women, due to their gender, is said to be prejudiced. One more example is of an organization, where women are hired equally, but not given top jobs.  Such organizations are practicing sexism - gender discrimination . Gender discrimination rises from the prejudice that: men are valued above women. Then, prejudice turns into actions: hire males, reject females; women are not given top jobs.
