INTRODUCTION
Assumptions are defined as a term which represents certain points in the argument which
a individual takes it for granted. In terms of bias it occurs when an individual displays in favour
of or in against of someone(Bollen and et.al, 2021). The below report involves assumptions
made, how stereotyping might cause to act unfairly towards another person , is there any other
area of discipline which may be affected by bias followed by conclusion.
MAIN BODY
Assumptions made by characters
The first assumption which they made was that from which location they are from. As the
male person thought that the girl might be a Japanese or a Korean. So, with respect to this
assumption he got to know that she is a Korean. At the same point of time they made the
assumption that there might be a sense of poverty. The individual made the assumption and took
it for granted that the girl is definitely from Japan or Korea only.
How stereotyping might cause someone to act unfairly towards another person
Stereotyping is defined as a cognitive process which includes a characteristic within a
group but it can also lead to provide a justification with respect to an affective reaction towards
people who belong from other groups. For example, with respect to gender there are many
stereotypes who thinks that men are much more strong than women. Stereotypes are most
acquired from early age due to the influence of teachers as well as media(Soleimani and et.al,
2021). Due to stereotyping it can cause someone to act badly as they read about many things in
negative form with respect to age and gender. Due to the nature of stereotypes it automatically
leads them to not act fair with any other individual. As they started thinking that what they are
doing is correct.
Is there any other discipline that may be affected by bias? How it may be affected?
Discipline refers to the practice of leading individuals to follow all rules as well as
standards of behaviour. There are various types of biasness like overconfidence, confirmation
and so on. Yes discipline can be affected by bias(Kahn and et.al, 2021). As it decreases the skill
of solving certain problems as well as at the same point of time increase the situation of
depression.

CONCLUSION
From the above report it is been concluded that there are many stereotypes who have
different thinking styles with respect to many issues. As in certain cases bias also occurs which
affects discipline. Due to ineffective period of discipline the situation of depression as well as
anxiety gets occur.
