The Media's Image of Arabs part 2

I think after the brief discussion in class, I still have the same "devil's advocate" view of this reading. I am fully sympathetic to people who are being shown in a bad light, yet I just do not know what can be done. The rest of the class seemed to think that this was not a big issue and though I feel bad saying it, I might agree. Entertainment is a world of its own. No one is untouchable. Movies and comedies seem to make fun of everyone. How could we possibly stop it? Maybe put a limit on the type of words used, but isn't that what happens already when a word is bleeped out on the tv? Maybe put a parental block on movies or channels? I think at some point in time, all kids realize that there are negative view points in the world. Instead of limiting the movies, maybe we should just depend on the parent to explain and teach the right way to treat a person. Explain that movies are not always reality and that we need to treat everyone with respect.
