I watched Good Luck Charlie for my bias assignment. It is a Disney series about a family that likes to have fun but also has everyday problems. This episode was about the mother going back to work after having her fourth child and she needed help from her family to keep an eye on the baby. The second child is a girl name Teddy and she was pretty much put in charge over her dad while her older brother got to go out with his friends she also wanted to go on a date that night but her dad made the boy come to the house for the first date. The third son named Gabe felt that his family forgot about him ever since the new baby came, his older brother and sister insured him they all still love him.
One of the types of bias I observed was the fact the Mother and father made the daughter have her first date at the house instead of going out, and her brother getting to go out with his friends having no responsibility with watching the baby.

I also think it is because she is a girl and most girls don’t have the same rules of their brothers.

Not only towards girls but towards boys as
