Bias is a tendency to look at things in a certain
way, in preference to another way. It means a
tendency to favor or support or against a
particular person, group, thing or point of view
over another resulting in unfairness.

girls.

the judge is her father.

Lets proceed to prejudice.
Everyone, kindly read the definition of
prejudice.
Prejudice refers to prejudging before looking at
the evidence. It is an unfavorable opinion or

These types of prejudice can also be a form of

bias. Similarly, a person can be biased because
of prejudice. However, prejudice and
discrimination are different. Prejudice refers to
a person’s thought or attitude, while
discrimination is the behavior acted upon by a
prejudice regarding a certain group of people.
