1.)Arabland
I have been unaware of my surroundings and how media had guided my personal life. After watching Reel Bad Arab, I had a revelation. A month ago after seeing the movie, Sex and the City 2, my first thought was “Wow, my little sister was really brave traveling to a Middle Eastern country by herself.” With little awareness, Sex and City 2 made me fearful of “Arabland’, a term coined by Dr. Jack Sheehan. The movie clearly portrayed the stereotypes of suppressed women and dangerous terrorist-type men. With new awareness, I can see through the cloud of entertainment and feel empowered to question the producer’s motives.
