II. Key Concepts
 Prejudice
Prejudice is an affective feeling towards a person or group

member based solely on their group membership. The word is often
used to refer to preconceived, usually unfavorable, feelings towards
people or a person because of their sex, gender, beliefs, values, social
class, age, disability, religion, sexuality, race/ethnicity, language,
nationality, beauty, occupation, education, criminality, sport team
affiliation or other personal characteristics. In this case, it refers to a
positive or negative evaluation of another person based on their
perceived group membership.
Prejudice can also refer to unfounded beliefs and it may include

"any unreasonable attitude that is unusually resistant to rational
influence". Gordon Allport defined prejudice as a "feeling, favorable or
unfavorable, toward a person or thing, prior to, or not based on, actual

experience". For the evolutionary psychology perspective, Auestad
(2015) defines prejudice as characterized by 'symbolic transfer',
transfer of a value-laden meaning content onto a socially formed
category and then on to individuals who are taken to belong to that
category, resistance to change, and overgeneralization.
 Bias
Bias is a prejudice in favor of, or against one thing, person, or

group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair.
Biases can be learned implicitly within cultural contexts. People

may develop biases toward or against an individual, an ethnic group, a
sexual or gender identity, a nation, a religion, a social class, a political
party, theoretical paradigms and ideologies within academic domains,
or a species. Biased means one-sided, lacking a neutral viewpoint, or
not having an open mind. Bias can come in many forms and is related
to prejudice and intuition.
An important skill of critical reading is the ability to detect an

author's bias and prejudice. The reason you need to be able to do this,
of course, is that bias and prejudice may invalidate an author's claim.
There are several ways to detect an author's possible bias and

prejudice, for example:
1. the author uses inflammatory language: in the most extreme

cases, racial epithets, slurs, etc.;
2. the author consistently makes claims whose larger purpose is to
elevate (or demean) one social, ethnic, national, religious, or
gender group as compared to another, or all others;
3. the author consciously presents evidence that serves to tell only
one side of an event or issue, purposefully withholding or
ignoring information that may shed the opposing view in a more
positive light;
4. the author manufactures, falsifies and/or dishonestly cites
evidence in order to present his or her case in a more positive
light.
An author's bias and prejudice are a result of a specific agenda he or

she wishes to support; or perhaps it simply reflects the author's
ignorance and resulting ignorant worldview. When writing about
history or essays, our ability to detect and identify such bias and
prejudice is a valuable and necessary skill.
Please note that bias and prejudice, although they may invalidate an
author's claims, do not necessarily disqualify that author's work as a
suitable subject for consideration. If you do include references to

biased and prejudiced works, however, be sure to qualify your
references by pointing to the works' underlying bias.
