Identifying the bias: scapegoating
In this picture, we can see the boss gives an unreasonable state “from now on everything that goes wrong around here will be your responsibility”. He holds his employee responsible for any next company’s problem because his employee only does job well at the moment. He makes a scapegoat for his employee. He seems to do nothing for the development of his company in order not to have to take responsibility for the incidents.
Item 2:
I remember going to a “Quebecois” school in Quebec where I first learned about racial discrimination when I was younger. The difference between a “Canadian” school and a Quebecois school in Quebec is the Quebecois school generally had separatist influences, they are relatively less diverse than the Canadian schools, there is no trace of anything distinctly Canadian, and there is no assistance to students who do not speak French as a native language.
Canadian schools, on the other hand, had a diverse student body, had some programmes for non-French speaking students, and put down racism in their school by promoting multiculturalism. My early experiences were both at a Canadian (St. Lawrence School) and Quebecois school (Ecole Samuel-De Champlain) where I spent 2 years in each school when I was young.

Analysis:
Identifying the bias: stereotype
The picture shows a man and his wife in a kitchen with the man wearing a suit as if he is going off to work. The wife is shown in a submissive posture wearing a chef’s hat. The ad reads “The Chef does everything but cook- that’s what wives are for!” It supports the stereotype that all women can do is stay at home and cook for their husbands. It is unfair that women may be seen it as their only identity to identify with and conform to the stereotype that women are only
good at home and are not active contributors to society. Cooking is one of
their duties they have to do by themselves in the family although many women
nowadays work outside.
