RECAP

At your age, you are already very familiar with the adage “No
Man Is an Island.” Aren’t you?

We have learned to live not only on our own but also with the
presence and help of other people. As we interact others, some
circumstances are not always warm and accommodating. They are
sometimes accompanied by rejections and discriminations. Sensitivity
towards other people’s feelings and

situations is a huge factor that will lead us to live in a world where
equality reigns.

LESSON

What comes to your mind when you see this logo?

https://eatbulaga.fandom.com/wiki/Bawal_Judgmental!

It is a segment from a famous noontime television show, “Eat Bulaga”.

Was there a time in your life when you caught yourself prejudging
others? Do you consider yourself judgmental as well? Then, how will you
judge these given dialogues?

https://www.slideshare.net/kashif2016/stereotypes-prejudice-and-discrimination-in-psychology

Do you believe that the statements above show fairness and

equality? If your answer is “NO”, then it means you are good in
detecting prejudices. But what made you say that the dialogues show
prejudices?

Prejudice refers to a preconceived opinion or feeling toward a

person based solely on their affiliation with a group. This feeling may
be translated into action by discriminating against the person or
members of the target group.

Downloaded by Shane Florita (shaneflorita667@gmail.com)

 An individual may be prejudiced against others based on factors such
as race, age, gender, sexual orientation, class status, religion, nationality,
and amongst other things.

Examples:
a) “I don’t want Blacks living in my neighborhood!”
b) “I don’t want Jews owning businesses in my town!”
c) “I don’t want a Muslim community center in lower
Manhattan!”

These examples clearly show that there are prejudices going on. The
statements prejudge against black people, Jews, and Muslims basically
because of their race, nationality and religion. Even though they have not
done anything wrong yet, but because of their backgrounds, people tend to
prejudge them and eventually discriminate them. These are very common
in our society even up to the present time.

Another term that causes confusion and is often used

interchangeably with “prejudice” is “bias”. But these two terms differ
from each other. Let’s examine how it differs from the former.

Bias is a tendency to lean in a certain direction, either in favor of or

against a particular thing. To be truly biased means to lack a neutral
viewpoint on a particular topic. Somewhere along the line, bias took
on a negative connotation.

If you're biased toward something, then you lean favorably toward it;
you tend to think positively of it. Meanwhile, if you're
biased against something, then you lean negatively against it; you tend to
think poorly of it.

Examples:
a) In other Christian sects, the preacher position is only given to
males and not to females.
b) Sectarian schools only accept students who share the same
religious beliefs.
c) Some churches don’t accept women who wear pants
instead of
dresses or skirts during their services.

In the given examples, a certain group or people is given favor

than the other. In number one, males are given more power or authority
than females. Number two, students who are interested to study in a
school but don’t share

the same religion can’t be admitted. And lastly, women who want to
attend church services aren’t allowed to go if they don’t wear the
prescribed clothes for the said services.

GUIDED PRACTICE
