The Arab/Muslim Stereotype
The dissemination of news changes the way we learn about other cultures in terms of politics, economies, and values. Especially, when they go viral. An example would be the arab stereotype of being 'terrorists'. It may have started from a war perspective, and now every arab is viewed as a terrorist, mainly if they were MUSLIM. This has also been spread out through movies and news, where they always show arabs as being the violent and aggressive ones. Therefore, implanting the arab/muslim image as terrorists in society's mind. For your information, not all arabs are muslims and not all muslims are arabs. Result is, not all arabs/muslims are so called 'terrorists'.
