Entry 3
IDENTIFYING BIAS

ITEM 1

 

* Scapegoating

       - Analysis: In this cartoon, the employer shifts responsibility for the loss of the company this year onto his employees. Especially, the employee in this cartoon who just starts working on Tuesday (it means just a few days) has to “only” receive “haft” the blame. The employer’s conclusion is totally groundless and unfair.

 ITEM 2

- Proverb

Con quan thì lại làm quan, con nhà kẻ  khó đốt than tối ngày.
 
* Stereotype

    - Analysis: This proverb shows misconception that people who are born into a wealthy and powerful family will have a bright future, whereas, people who born into a poor and powerless family just have a miserable life like their previous generations.

ITEM 3

 

* Discrimination:

      - Analysis: The slogan of this company is “equal opportunities commission”. However, what the personnel talks to the woman is contrary to the slogan. In this circumstance, women are treated as if they are inferior than men in the same work environment.

  1. Hi Quynh Anh,
    In your entry, I think the item 1 and 3 are ok. However, in the item 2, in my point of view, it is assumption because only based on limited knowledge about family, people conclude that people were born in rich family will become rich and people were born in poor family will have miserable life.
