 BIAS

another, usually in a way not considered fair

- to lean in a certain direction, either in favor of or against something

- leaning favorably toward something or thinking positively of it when used

with the preposition “TOWARD” (biased toward)

- leaning negatively against something or thinking poorly of it when used

with the preposition “AGAINST” (biased against)
 BIAS
An employer is biased AGAINST women. He promoted a man
over a more deserving female candidate. (The employer has
not been fair in his choice.)

Someone is biased TOWARD her own religion. She thinks their

beliefs and practices are superior to any other religion. (She
thinks most highly of her religion and none other can surpass
that.)

There was a heated argument between two students in class.

The class president defended his bestfriend even though she’s
at fault. The class president is biased TOWARD his bestfriend.
(The class president took his bestfriend’s side even when she’s
wrong.)
 PREJUDICE
- an opinion formed before getting to know relevant facts of a
case or situation

- a favorable or usually unfavorable feeling or claim toward a

person, thing, or situation without an actual experience as a
basis

- a preconceived notion or assumption made about someone or

something prior to obtaining enough knowledge to guarantee
accuracy
 PREJUDICE
The citizens didn’t vote for a particular candidate who did not graduate from
high school because they think that the candidate is not capable of leading
them due to limited educational attainment. (Not being able to finish
education doesn’t mean a person cannot lead.)

Prejudices against young people suggest that they are indifferent and
reckless. This can be used to underestimate or ignore them. (This is an over-
generalization. Young people can make wise decisions and contribute in
addressing societal issues.)

Prejudice against older people with the notion that they are weak may be
used to deny them employment or abuse their rights. (Old age isn’t a reason
to deny old people their rights and ignore their capabilities.)
