In this class, we watched the video about the the negative image toward Arab made by Hollywood movie. The video explains the cause of the negative image of Arab was the relationships between Washington(politics) and Hollywood(entertainment). The two are strongly connected and influenced each other, so the Arab's image was terrible for the political reason.
My first reaction was rather sad, than shocked because I have several friends who is Arab and live in Palestine. They all don't like that kinds of person, also, I reminded one of them said "When I wear the headdress, I was seen as a terrorist" as a black joke...
Both video and the memory made me sad, and I wondered how can people see other people without being influenced by media.I think the solution toward the question is to see these place/people with their own eyes.Or if it's impossible, people should notice that all media(except the internet...sometimes...)has some bias, and people should judge the media's content objectively.
