Identifying
Bias
* Item1: Tôi yêu
Thanh Hóa
Comment in the clip:
- Phải
có lửa mới có khói người thanh hóa phải làm gì thì người Hà Nội
mới ghét chứ- Dân Thanh Hoá ăn rau má phá đường tàu =)) 36 mãi là 36 thôi
- Ở đâu cũng có người nọ người kia nhưng toḿ lại phải có lửa thì mới có khoí. Không tự nhiên mà áp đặt như thế đâu. 100 ng thi 90 người chẳng ra gì, 9 người bình thường còn lại 1 người tam̀ tạm. Nhà quê tính cẩn thận vẫn loại cái biển 36 ra.
Ø Type of bias: Prejudice, Stereotype
Ø Analysis:
- Prejudice: At first, they smile and talk very friendly and in a fun way. However, the girl
knows that the boy comes from Thanh Hoa after seeing his Student Profile, she shows
despising attitude with a contemptuous look at him. Moreover, prejudice is also expressed in some others' comments underlined.
- Stereotype: In fact, we can find that
Thanh Hoa people always be disregardful and contemptuous because most people
believe that Thanh Hoa people “eat pennywort, break rails”. It means that they
are very stingy, wise and bad. And so does the girl.
* Item 2:
Ø Type of bias: Discrimination
Ø Analysis: In this picture, there is a billboard with
some lines: “no Blacks, no Jews, no Dogs, no Irish and all welcome!” It is
clear that there is a racial discrimination between others and Blacks, Irish,
Jews. All are welcomed except Blacks, Irish, Jews and Dogs. Moreover, the
Blacks, Jews and Irish are equated with dogs. It proves that racial
discrimination is more obvious.
* Item 3:
|
St. Petersburg Times (Florida)
3/25/2003 |
Dar Al-Hayat
4/1/2003 |

The Red Cross,
one of the few aid groups with staff operating in Iraq, hopes to negotiate
access to the main power station, which is said to be under control of U.S.-led coalition forces. But neither local staff nor
specialists in neighboring Kuwait
have been cleared to go because of continued clashes.
|
Iraq said its troops were battling U.S.-led invasion forces inside Nassiriya and on the city's
outskirts on Tuesday and inflicting heavy casualties.
|
Ø Type of bias: Emotive language
Ø Analysis: With the same issue but it is expressed by
two articles in the differences in word choice. The phrase “coalition forces”
means “lực lượng liên quân” and “invasion forces” means “lực lượng xâm lược”.
They seem quite different meaning but they all referred to U.S forces.
Moreover, there is a remarkable difference in two words: “ battle”(đấu
tranh) and “negotiate”(đàm phán). Here, the author of Dar
Al-Hayat wants to strongly emphasize on the serious clash between Iraq
and U.S.
It isn’t only negotiated but battled.
Hi Nguyet,
Trả lờiXóaI have some comments about your entry
- First, i think your item 2 and 3 are good ^_^
- However, I think that in item 2, prejudice should be discrimination (prejudice in action) because the girl contemptuously looks at the boy coming from Thanh Hoa. I think it is also a negative action. About stereotype, in my opinion, it should be prejuidce because as you said, most people have unfair judgment about Thanh Hoa people and think that they "eat pennywort, break sails" - stingy, wise and bad.
hi linh,
Trả lờiXóathanks for your comments. About stereotype, i want to show that because most people have unfair judgments on Thanh Hoa people and think that they "eat pennywort, break rails".the girl are influenced by this prejudice so she has such actions. so i think it is a stereotype.
