               For this week 2 our discussion is all about "Difference of Bias and Prejudice" 

Bias is an inclination for or against a person, idea or thing, especially in a way considered to be unfair. Prejudice is a preconceived opinion that is not based on actual experience or reason.

Bias Definition 

    -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.  Bias means a tendency to favor one person, group, thing or point of view over another, often in an unfair way.

Prejudice Definition 

   Prejudice is an unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought or reason. It simply means to prejudge others before knowing them. Moreover, it is an unjustified or incorrect attitude (usually negative) towards an individual based solely on the individual's membership of a social group.
