differences between us, those differences can connect us too. So far I can connect this to the “A Land Called Paradise” video since these young women want to make a point that everyone should respect one another and we should break apart stereotypes.

people as they are, there are still so many that will not see a person first, but instead a racist and prejudiced stereotype. Later on in this video, the two girls mention about how they have things in common, despite their different cultural and religious upbringing. That part alone just comes to show how these girls are their own individual being, and are not just stereotypes.

to more unity and acceptance.

I also think it’s really important that they touched on how their views of the other were created by the stereotype forced on them.

…we aren’t all that different

etc. It goes to show that although we are being progressive as a society, we should still be aware of the people out there who are close-minded despite it being 2020. #acceptance #growth

community to change? #Unity #change

tend to use tragedies as a gateway to hate crimes and discrimination. #power #loveforall

I believe this comparison serves as proof to their previous statement about how the oppressed should stand together against their oppressor instead of oppressing eachother with stereotypes.

senseless hatred isn’t acceptable.

It really brought me back to these post 9/11 horror stories and my friend telling me how she’s afraid to wear a hijab because she’ll get shot in her neighborhood for it. There’s so many things that muslims are restricted in doing when they shouldn’t be. They should be allowed to celebrate their culture and yet in America we’ve made it very hard for them to. I think we really need to work on having more of these conversations and separating terrorism/hate from Islam because those are so far from the real core values in the Quran.

Videos like these are so important and I wish they were shared with the general public more!

#wearethesame

With stereotypes put in place, is the “American dream” attainable for all?

When the man held up a sign that said ‘Would you be scared if I moved to your city’ I felt like that was very powerful because these people leave their countries because of war or to avoid death and come to America looking for a better life. But they get discriminated and hated because they are muslim. They are branded as terrorists even though they are the complete opposite. I feel like this video would be a real eye opener to those who think of muslims as terrorists.

powerful and girls are seen as weak.

which is really sad and upsetting. I think the media also plays a big part in creating negative stereotypes about being a girl and a girl’s capability.

#perception #society

demonstrated in the earlier examples when the director? of this advertisment asked the older aged group different and to execute them “acting like a girl”. The phrase just reinforces a sexist stereotype and should not be used at all.

I’m honestly heartbroken by the Native’s sad history and I wish I could learn more about them that isn’t limited to the trail of tears because their culture is so beautiful and so important.

Another interesting thing to think about it choice of music and how that affects our feelings toward a video!

of the time that I was worried about my acne breakout but my mom told me that we judge ourselves more than others judge us because we’re all too busy worrying about our own insecurities to notice the insecurities of others. #loveyourself #bestrong

imperfections but in reality people don’t pay attention to that kind of stuff.

I think what this man did really builds self confidence because I feel like everyone is really harsh on themselves about how they look because there have been certain standards that have been made and it tells us that we need to look like that. But for these women to see how beautiful others describes them it really shows that beauty isn’t one thing.

#love #health

In one she described a person who was closed off, shut down and sadder while in the other she described someone who was happy, friendly and beautiful. I think this just goes to show how we can become so consumed by our “flaws” and how destructive our own thoughts can be to our daily lives.

#confidence #powerful

super important to compliment people because it can really make their day and boost their confidence.
