I. LEARNING SKILLS:

Competency: Differentiate biases from prejudices (EN9LC-IVf-13.3)

At the end of this activity, you will be able to:

 Differentiate Biases from Prejudices;
 Detect biases and prejudices from the material read;
 Write the biases and prejudices expressed in the pictures;
 Identify if the situation expresses bias or prejudice.

II. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT

In this lesson, you will work on exercises to hone your skills in analyzing
problems and finding solutions based on factual information and data for you to be able
to react and give your opinion without being biased.

Bias is a disproportionate weight in favor of or against an idea or thing, usually in a

way that is closed-minded, prejudicial, or unfair. Biases can be innate or learned. People
may develop biases for or against an individual, a group, or a belief. In science and
engineering, a bias is a systematic error. (Wikipedia)

On the other hand, prejudice is normally used in the context of having an unjustified
or incorrect view against something, while bias is normally used in the same context but
is a view in favor of something and is often seen as the lesser of the preconceptions or
beliefs, because, although still based on incomplete information, it is often a view arrived
at after some thought. Prejudice is often based on little more than an irrational dislike of
something. They are very similar in most respects and can often be freely interchanged.

This will further guide you not to be biased in facing situations that showcase biases
and prejudices. Being responsible is one quality that you need to embrace and practice
especially in giving your opinion of an issue . In this way, you show your being sensitive
to others without being biased and prejudiced.

The activities/tasks will let you appreciate famous persons and their ideals that
helped shape society as we know it now. They were great examples of people who did
not show biases and prejudices despite their status in life and their achievements.

Practice Task 3: Bias is Real!
Read the following articles which depict biases and prejudices. Be able to cite/identify
lines from the text that express bias or prejudice. Write your answer on the blanks.
1. Culture change is what this country badly needs. We want to get rid of corrupt politicians,
but we are not aware of the role we play in breeding one. For instance, in our
neighborhood where one of the local officials resides, our folks would always expect that
the local official would give financial help every time one of the neighbors dies. When
another gets sick or gives birth, financial help is immediately sought from that local official.
During weddings, baptism, birthdays, and all sorts of celebration the same is expected
from him/her.

 2. Considering that meager allowance is received by local officials, it is not it a wonder where
they get the “fund” they give to satisfy the needs of their constituents. It is about time that
we be aware of the real job description of our officials. Let us help them concentrate in
doing their job by not asking too much financial help from them. We can do a lot in helping
our country. Let us begin with ourselves.

3. I think that calling this summer hot would be an incredible understatement. It has, in fact,
been quite unbearable with the heat driving everyone indoors and some even collapsing
(and a few dying) from the sweltering and dizzying temperatures. It truly comes as a
welcome relief for many that the rains have begun to quench our parched population. As
everyone knows, water is the most important commodity in life. Our own bodies are made
of 80% water. We can all live without so many things – electricity, internet, and even food
for a few days, but we will not last without water.

b. Assessment:

Directions: Identify if the situation is expressing bias or prejudice. Write your answer on the
space before each number.
_________________1. Ranee saw on the news that there are lots of civil wars in Mindanao.
She also knew that people in most areas with wars are Muslims. Shen then believed that
Muslims cause wars.
_________________ 2. Fatima was sitting in a bus when a pregnant woman, old lady, and a
person with different ability got in the bus. She offered her seat to an old lady because she
reminded her of her grandmother.
__________________3. Whenever Kashmira sees a Filipina and a foreigner together, she
always says in her mind, “Isa na namang Filipina and nakaahon sa hirap.” Being with a
foreigner means being an opportunistic according to her.
__________________4. In Ana’s class, her classmates did not vote for Florida as the president
even though she is great. When asked for the reason why, they said that girls are weak and
cannot lead for higher position.
__________________ 5. Leonardo is a fast-food store owner. He orders his crew/staff that
whenever beggars get in the store, they should not be allowed even if they have the money
because they can destroy the image of the store and that customers will no longer eat, and they
will feel uncomfortable because of their presence.
___________________6. Students who are academically inclined are more successful in life
than those who settle for passing grades.

handsome than those who wear simple clothes.
___________________8. When a simple-looking customer tells the sales lady that he is an

Elite card holder, that latter gives a questioning and doubtful look.

___________________9. Ivana Alawi is a popular actress and a social media influencer. Due to
the income she has been enjoying, she has not forgotten to share her blessings with the less
fortunate especially during Covid-19 pandemic. However, haters are quick to comment and
bash her with snide remarks that she is only doing those charity works to gain more popularity.
___________________10. Labelling the Duterte’s Administration as Pro-violence and
campaigning against his projects and national policies because of your disapproval of his
