– Prejudice, discrimination
– Analysis: The picture is about a short story in terms of discrimination. As we can see, when a wife see colored people, she feels extremely scary and run away immediately (prejudice). Then, her husband call “ pest control”, it means that the couple considers the group of colored people are animals, not people ( discrimination).
– Prejudice, scapegoating
– Analysis: Israeli soldiers stand guard near Palestinian civilians during a protest in Nabi Saleh, near Ramaliah, on July 9, 2010 against the expropriation of Palestinian land to expand the nearby Jewish settlement of Halmish in the occupiedWest Bank. The photo bias shows IDF soldiers in a dehumanized way. They have the action like gunning for children.
– Analysis: In the picture, a man is in the road with a lot of signs and he is really confused. Also, life can be confusing. To make things simpler, all of us make choices. We decide some things are good and other things are bad.
In reality, not everyone will agree with our choices. Those who agree with us tend to share our perspective, our point of view. We tend to automatically believe those who share our point of view. Perspective is not a bad thing. A unique point of view can be refreshing and help others see things in new ways. However our perspective becomes biased when it prevents us from objectively considering different points of view. Beware ideas that are promoted as the only right way to believe.
