A Word Used In Harm

Here are two obviously biased pieces. These become the inspiration for your research essay.

"Why Liberals Support Muslims Who Hate Everything They Stand For" by John Hawkins


"Let's just say it: The Republicans are the problem" by Thomas E. Mann and Norman J. Ornstein


Evaluation

1. How do you determine the bias?

2. What kinds of language do you find in here that is problematic--and in what way?

3. What kind of stereotypes are portrayed and used to define the subject term?

4. Who is the intended audience, and what is the purpose of the piece?
