Old World vs. New World “A “new world” exists, having blasted into existence from the technological explosion of the last 20 years. We are going to call this new world cyber-space. Cyber-space is very different from the traditional “old world” we are born into and live and die in every day. The differences between these two worlds is causing some very interesting and very serious challenges.” [1]. The Old World is a completely different world than this New World.

Disney’s magic carpet ride: Aladdin and women in Islam is about how the Disney version of Aladdin portrays the women and men in Islam. I agree on a lot of the points in this article and disagree with only a few. This article talks mainly about how Disney could have done a better job with portraying Islam culture. The author of this article Christiane Staninger uses a lot of other authors from different papers to back up certain arguments that are being made about this Disney movie, and this…

The racial and cultural profiling is not only belittling and abusive to the people but it is dehumanizing to the entire Middle Eastern culture. One of the most tragic and recent example of this dehumanization is happening right now. When an entire group of people is plagued with a harsh stereotype it blinds others from the real issue at hand which is the biggest humanitarian crisis the world has ever seen; the Syrian refugee crisis.
