I expected that Media Ed and IMDb provide me movies like films or TV program, but they does not, and only provides some information and reviews about movies. In my first essay, I used a film as a source, and it was a little bit hard for me to dictate what is said without captions. However, movies are sometimes much easier to get information about essay topics than written articles because images and sounds help me understand the contents. So, if there are any good movies for my essay topic, racism in UAE, I will use them.

  In the Friday's class, Rab showed how much we are affected by media. We rarely understand certain matter well and tend to have wrong idea of them. To avoid it, people should not have one perspective, but try to understand by several point of view. There are no media which is not concerned in operation of information.
  In addition, we watched three videos on YouTube. One of them was about Japanese culture but it was biased and stereotyped for making people laugh. I showed this video to my friends after the class, and they were all laughing.
