Do Media Represent Realistic Images of Arabs?
I don't know, I would like to assume no. Almost everything I see is negative, probably to have Americans support the war in Afghanistan and Iraq by scaring us. The media portrays Arabs as the others, people who we cannot relate to. People are afraid of what they do not understand. Standard images showing Arabs in the Media are often ones from 9/11. Also anyone shown who looks like a stereotypical "Arab", is generally doing something bad or scary. I don't believe everything on the news, but a few blogs from won't change my views instantly. I will keep a open and neutral mind for all groups of people until I have personal experiences with an assortment of them. I hope that others will keep a open mind for us.
