This is actually what I have been feeling throughout my master degree so far. I feel that the more we dig deeper into understanding the more we realize that the sea is so much more frightening than the reality of it.
I came across this picture on Facebook and it broke into my heart.
those are representatives of the world getting an education. The first one is Arab, second American, third European and fourth African The teachers asks a questions : "what is your opinion about the lack in food supply to the rest of the world?"
the Arab says: what does "what do you think"mean?
the American says: what does "the rest of the world"mean?
the European says: what does "lack"mean?
the African says: what does "food" mean?
the idea is, we may all be speaking the same language, but unfortunately this is the reality we live in..
just thought of sharing!!

ReplyDeleteAlthough the cartoon obviously was done with good intentions, I think there is a good side to it but there is however still some prejudice portrayed in there. Generalization does not always necessarily work, but rather it perpetuates negative images that does not reflect everyone with the same geographical area.
ReplyDeleteThat is very true othman, there is a lot of stereotyping in this picture that we should not overlook
