Language Bias

Racism and discrimination can appear in many different forms and can affect one’s wellbeing, career and development. Language is often used to establish connections and has a huge impact on the way individuals are viewed by in contemporary society.

It is important not to stereotype or label people as this can lead to discrimination. For example children may discriminate against other children by name calling and teasing if they are somehow different to them.

Medical professionals should be banned from using biased interpreters for patients that have limited to no English proficiency. One of the most important things to have in the medical field, is a good relationship and good communication between the doctor and patient. People of all languages and cultures live in the United States, and they also must all see a doctor. There are major communication issues between doctors and patients with limited to no English proficiency. Doctors must be able to know and communicate with their patients. Patients must be able to know and understand their medical diagnosis and what treatment options are available, but that is not always possible. This issue brings in interpreters. There are many cases where interpreters should have been used but weren’t, ways to develop a strategy in practices for interpreters, and boundaries when using interpreters in the medical field.

The news is here to inform the public about current events and issues around the world. However, each news station has its own bias towards certain events. Where some news stations are far left and others are far right, the viewers seem to be affected on both sides either way. Nonetheless, the viewers themselves are not completely innocent in this situation. The viewers will watch specific news stations to have their ideas or biases validated. People usually do not like to be challenged, especially after a hards day of work. This group of people consists of adults above the age of thirty. It would be nice to come home and have something to can agree with. The reasoning behind this, people tend to be more fond of news stations that gives them

Fred Barnes and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has different views on liberal prejudice. First, Barnes agrees to the media liberal unfairness, and he claims that the media refuse to give conservatives a job. Furthermore, positive news reports have data to prove that the liberal media is unfair. Next, Kennedy admits that bias do exist in the media; however, he is certain that the media has a conservative bias instead of a liberal bias. Kennedy also claims that United States citizens believe in news that is untrue. The media tends to implant incorrect information through the radio, newspaper, and many others from the conservative viewpoint (Finsterbusch 2014).

Racial bias is still a very active issue in society today. This paper explores the understanding of racial bias in business hiring. This is critical because racial bias continually uniforms businesses in hiring decisions. The prevalence of racial bias in business hiring, potential interventions, and explanations of why this occurs will be explored. How prevalent is racial bias in business hiring today and how can it be mediated?

Bias is allowed to enter the media coverage of politics. Graber (2010) states “U.S. courts usually have held that the print media have a nearly absolute freedom to determine what they will or will not print and whose views they will present” (p.51). Generally, most Americans do not favor press freedom. However, as long as unregulated media avoids libel and slander, as well as publishing top-secret information, legal restraints cannot hamper their publishing decisions. The United States Supreme Court defines print press rights in the case of Miami Herald Publishing Company v. Tornillo (1974). The Court ruled unanimously that newspapers could print or refuse to print anything they like. The media performs four major functions for government

In the past few years, the news media has become more competitive, more extensive, and more globalized than ever before. Reporting occurs in near real time from almost any location to the consumer’s television or computer screen. With so many news agencies now vying for precious minutes of a consumer’s time, it is common for a story to undergo slight alterations that make it more emotional or sensational. Several consequent transformations of the same story can lead to extreme misreporting on the actual content, and oftentimes it is difficult to ascertain what the original story was without looking at multiple versions from different sources. The purpose of this paper is to trace the development of a news story across a 24-hour period,

We have read the stories and heard about the reality of individuals with ethnic names being passed over when it comes to job interviews. The last July, NBC ran a story about Yolanda Spivey and her experiment with name bias. Spivey, an African American female, was finding it hard to get job interviews despite her qualification. She created an identical profile as her own using the name Bianca White. While her phone remained silent, "Bianca White's phone and email account sprang to life. At the end of her experiment, Spivey summarized, "Resumes with ethnic sounding names may go into the wastebasket and never see the light of day. The result is that black women have an unemployment rate of twice the national

Communication Disorders in Society and Media has widened my view of what it means to have a disability. This class taught me about disorders such as Tourette’s Syndrome, which I knew very little about. In addition, it provided more information about disorders such as autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability, which I knew quite a bit about before the class. This course shed light on the fact that there is a broad spectrum of experience, self-identification, and positivity within the sphere of each communication disorder. Assumptions by those without disabilities about how a particular individual experiences, relates to, and lives with his or her disability may be entirely incorrect, and are based solely of stereotypes perpetuated

Biased language is language presenting attitudes that lack objectivity or intentionally or unintentionally that make reference to offensive words to be prejudiced (Bevan and Sole, 2014). Biased language makes a subjective reference to individual’s age, sex, disability, and race in communicating arguments. Biased languages have an adverse impact on the attitude developed towards those in reference. Biased language conveys unverified information that could be taken to be accurate information that’s leading to the development of negative attitudes among the subject (Bevan and Sole, 2014).

On the other hand, about American poll. American poll is much more accuracy and it can converge a strong conclusion. First, unlike China, all the residents in American can have the right to poll for the president if they are registered. And the property of the question should be all residents overall the United States. And the sample size compared to Chinese will be very big, the entire American residents are the sample, therefore, it comes a problem, they are too much types of people are in the sample, some people have high education, some people are not knowledgeable, some are peasants, the sample contains all kinds of the people, which some of the people do not have enough critical thinking skill, they will be led or convinced by some other people, therefore, their vote is not their vote, it actually stole by other

Every book is an escape into a new world, filled with individuals with problems much like ours, or maybe not. As the protagonist conquers challenges and learns important lessons, I too am changing. By taking note of their mistakes, their fears, their triumphs and comparing it to myself, I should become a better person, right? However, books are only read (and sold) when they are interesting, and who wants to read about the life of an average person?

Bias and stereotyping can both be harmful for self-esteem and the developmental process in children. Bias is not only harmful for the target group since it lowers the self-esteem, but the group who feels superiority over the other is also harmed. The feeling of being superior disconnects a person from reality. Too much of self-esteem reduces the appreciation of others and may even slow down progress for the beholder. Stereotyping creates preconceived notions in the minds of children and adults due to which they fail to see others for what they actually are and rather judge them on the basis of information that is misguided and obsolete. Stereotyping results in developing strong perspectives of people who are different and causes prejudice.

Stereotypes against race, nationally, and sexual orientation is typically negative. When writing, remember to treat everyone as equals.
