Item
1
-
Stereotype.
-
Analysis:
Ø Semaphore
Flag
is the system for conveying information at a distance by means of visual
signals with hand-held flags, rods, disks, paddles. Semaphores were adopted and
widely used in the maritime world in the 19th century. Many Jews people use
semaphore flag. Actually, not all people who hold semaphore in their hands are
the Jews.
Ø Taxidermy
is the art of preparing, stuffing, and mounting the skins of animals
(especially vertebrates) for display (e.g. as hunting
trophies) or for other sources of study. Many black girls
are taxidermist, but not all of black girls are taxidermist.
Ø The
Cherokee are a Native American people historically settled in the
Southeastern United States. Puppets show the history, lifestyle and religious
practice of the Cherokee. But not all people with the puppets are the Cherokee.
Ø Nuclear

testing is very popular in Spain. But not all people who test nuclear energy
are Spaniard.

Prejudice
-
Analysis:
The woman is much smaller than two big men and she stands behind them. The
comic expresses negative attitude toward women. Women in working places are
appreciated lowly compared with men.
Item 3
-
Discrimination.
-
Analysis: The woman in this photo is too
old to apply for a job. This photo shows a popular phenomenon in modern society
that is the age discrimination.



Hi Hien,
Trả lờiXóa- In my opinion your item 3 is ok. However, in the item 1, there is the word "stereotype" in your picture ^^ => so I think that you should choose another one which you can identify bias by yourself. In item 2, I think it is sexism. I can see two men look each other => maybe they are compete in work and the woman is behind and just looks at them
