At your age, are you familiar with the
adage below?
Meaning:
We have learned to live not only on our own but
also with the help and presence of other people.
As we interact with others, some circumstances
are not only warm and accommodating they
sometimes accompanied by rejections and
discriminations. Sensitivity towards other
people’s feelings and situations is a huge factor
that will lead us to live in a world where equality
reigns.

PREJUDICE
It is preconceived opinion or
feeling toward a person based solely
on their affiliation with a group.
This feeling may be translated into action
by discriminating against the person or
members of the target group.
PREJUDICE
An individual may prejudiced against

others such as race, age, gender, sexual
orientation, class status, religion,
nationality, and among other things.
EXAMPLES:
1. I don’t want blacks living in my
neighborhood!
2. I don’t want Chinese owning businesses in
my town!
3. I don’t want a Muslim Community Center in
my town.
 The statements prejudge against black people,
Chinese, and Muslims basically because of their race,
nationality, and religion.
 Because of their backgrounds, people tend to prejudge

them and eventually discriminate them.
BIAS
It is a tendency to lean in a certain
direction, either in favor of or against
a particular thing.
To be truly biased means to lack a

neutral viewpoint on a particular topic.
Somewhere along the line, bias took on a
negative connotation.
EXAMPLES:
1. In other Christian sects, the preacher
position is only given to males not to
females.
Males are given more power or

authority than females.
EXAMPLES:
2. Sectarian schools only accept students
who share the same religious beliefs
Students who are interested to study in

a school but don’t share the same religion
can’t be accepted.
EXAMPLES:
3. Some churches don’t accept women
who wear pants instead of dresses or
skirts during services.
Women who want to attend church

services aren’t allowed to go if they don’t
wear the prescribed clothes for the said
service.
