Item 1:
American Sources such as CNN have labeled the conflict the “War In Iraq“ | Arab sources such as Dar Al-Hayat regularly call the conflict the “War On Iraq“ |

Discrimination:
Analysis: American newspapers use “War in Iraq” to officially show that USA are taking a war for peace. On contrary, media in Arab use “War in Iraq” partly to convict an unjust war carrying out by USA.
Items 2:
I don’t want love. I haven’t time for it. It’s weakness. I am a man, and sometimes I want a woman. When I’ve satisfied my passion I’m ready for other things. I can’t overcome my desire, but I hate it; it imprisons my spirit; I look forward to the timewhen I shall be free from my all desire and can give myself without hindrance to my work. Because woman can do nothing except love, they’ve given it a ridiculous importance. They want to persuade us it’s the whole of life. It’s an insignificant part. I know lust. That’s normal and healthy. Love is a disease. Women are the instruments of my pleasure; I have no patience with their claim to be helpmates, partners, and companions.

Dear Thiet,
I have read your three items and i want to express my thought about your third entry. First and foremost, the stories above is quite equivalant to our lesson, rich sources of Items. Your analysis for each item is clear and somehow sufficient. You had clarified which type of bias transparently.
However, I suggest that in the 3rd item, i think that it is a stereotype, not a discrimination. Because we see that this is only the individual opinion of the man in the picture about what the real beauty is. I suggest that you should take notice of the conflict in the man’s speech.
I hope that it is useful for you@_@
Love,
Tu Anh.
