Bias
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.
Prejudice
Prejudice refers to pre-judging before
looking at the evidence. It is an unfavorable
opinion or feeling beforehand or without
knowledge, thought, or reason. Prejudice
can have a strong influence on how people
behave
and
interact
with
others,
particularly with those who are different
from another group.
