"Obsession"

From the class that we had this week, the trailer to the movie "Obsession" really stood out to me, along with our discussion about how stereotypes have come about.  Just from watching that trailer of the movie...scared the hell out of me.  I would never watch that movie willingly, and the fact that people were receiving these movies, for free, in the mail for themselves and their families to watch is insane!  You can completely tell that it is one sided and biased. It's crazy that it was legal for this video to be sent out.  I thought it was funny how the new casters said that it was a must see film and everyone in America will understand the issues after watching it.  It's just crazy how people can be persuaded to believe different things so easily.  That is what is wrong with our society, I'd say.  People believe what they hear from their friends, the radio, newspaper, T.V., etc.  How are you supposed to have your own thoughts and beliefs when you have so many things being shoved in your face to believe.

Something that I thought of while we were discussing the fact that people always generalize Muslims and people that wear headdresses as dangerous and stereotype them as killers, was the emoji that my iPhone has of the "Muslim Man."  What is the purpose of that emoji?  Talk about categorizing people, to the extreme.
