Identifying bias
Item 1
- Stereotype
- Analysis: Adults think that teenagers are are rebellious.
Item 3:
In a national Australian survey in 2002, Hamilton found that high income earners actually feel less satisfied and prosperous than low income earners! While 9%of the lowest income earners (less than $25,000 per year) were happy with what they earned and 21% reported being totally satisfied with life, only 5% of the highest income earners (more than $100,000 per year) felt prosperous, and just 13% were totally satisfied with life generally. So what’s going wrong here?
Similarly, according to US statistics, happiness of wealthy people is only slightly better than average, with income above about $20,000 US per capita, yielding at best minimal increases in happiness. Further, studies show that people who value money highly tend to be less happy than those who place highest priority on love and relationships
- Assumption
- Analysis:
1. If the number of low income earners are the same as that of high income earners involved in the survey?
2. Financial situation is only one of many other elements that contribute to a happiness with a general life.
3. From the statistics we cannot draw a conclusion that: “people who value money highly tend to be less happy than those who place highest priority on love and relationships” because it is not always true that high income earners value highly money, and low income earners place highest priority on love and relationships rather than money.
Item 3:
Theo TS. Lê Danh Tuyên, Phó Viện trưởng Viện Dinh dưỡng Quốc gia, tỷ lệ suy dinh dưỡng thể nhẹ câncủa trẻ em đã giảm từ 18,9% năm 2009 xuống 17,5% năm 2010. Tỷ lệ suy dinh dưỡng thể thấp còi của trẻ em đã giảm từ 32,9% năm 2009 xuống 29,3% năm 2010. Thành tích này thể hiện sự đúng đắn về giải pháp và hành động, sự phối hợp của các ban ngành, sự nỗ lực của mạng lưới y tế, sự hợp tác hỗ trợ hiệu quả của các tổ chức quốc tế. Việt Nam tiếp tục được đánh giá là quốc gia tiến bộ hàng đầu trong công cuộc phòng chống suy dinh dưỡng trẻ em.
- Assumption:
- Analysis: the population in Vietnam in 2010 is much higher than that in 2009. Therefore, so from the fact that the percentage of malnourished children in 2010 is lower than that in 2009, we cannot conclude that the number of malnourished children in next year reduces, perhaps this reduced rate is because the increase in the population ==> omit the real number, only refer to the percentage.
% 2009= malnourished 2009/ population 2009
% 2010= malnourished 2010/ population 2010
Population 2010> p 2009
Malnourished 2010 = or even > mal…2009
--> %2010< %2009
Dear Truong! Actualy I can't see the picture from the link you provided so it's not clear enough for me to understand why you said that "Adults think that teenagers are are rebellious". Maybe it's a kind of assunption. I don't really understand item 2. The item 3 is good! I like it. However, I think that, you should add a detail that 17,5% and 29,3% in a country's population are also large numbers.
Trả lờiXóa- Item 1: I think the three small planets have something to do with the ones who have rings on their nose or somewhere else on the body. From what I see, it's prejudice as ppl usually consider them kids. It also means judging ppl through appearance.
Trả lờiXóa- Item 2: just want to add a detail:"were happy with what they earned" is different from "felt prosperous". Therefore, those 9% and 5% shouldn't be compared.
