652 Words3 Pages

Algebra, advances in industry, paper making, glasses, and irreplaceable knowledge are all provided to us by the Islamic World. While many contributions are overlooked, these are the the major ones that have changed how the Western World lives today. From Disney movie ideas to the works of Aristotle my ideas and preconceptions have been altered for the better and for the duration of my life. The Disney movie “Aladdin” shows orientalizing and prejudice through its coloration of the characters, the facial transfiguration, and racism. In Aladdin, the main character, along with other characters are light-skinned; while Jafar, the villain, is depicted darker. This shows racism in the sense of coloration of skin, while the size and shape of his

    One movie that I enjoyed due to the production design is Avatar. The production design team did a wonderful job of illustrating what life was like on the planet, Pandora, from the creators such as the dragons and the planet life. The designs that I really enjoyed were the scenes displaying the Tree of Souls. Another film with wonderful production designs is Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

    The use of certain colors associated with clothing in a film can help tell a story, show a character 's journey or who they are to the story, and it helps communicate ideas to the audience. In Guy Ritchie’s film, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, the battle between good and evil is represented by light colors like white, tan, or light brown and black in clothing, but when using magic, the characters who represent “good” have blue, gold, and silver accents while “evil” characters have red, orange, and black accents. Colors can have a powerful effect on the audiences’ understanding of the story. According to Richard La Motte, the “real story” of a movie is “not in the dialogue or in the setting but in the theme, which is what all the visual and audible information expresses and reveals” (La Motte 1). Colors and Camera angles can help the audience understand more about the character’s feelings and where the story is taking place.

    Joseph Calise October 26th, 2015 Dr. Hesson Language in Society Aladdin Essay 2 When talking about linguistics in the movie Aladdin, different dialects between characters correspond directly to stereotypes from a socioeconomic and racial lens. The sentence structures from both Aladdin and Jafar in this clip expose many properties of language including morphology, syntax, as well as the patterns of phonetics. Based on dialect and linguistics throughout the clip as well as the entire movie, it is evident that Aladdin is seen as the more trustworthy person when compared to Jafar. Aladdin, being from the Middle East would be expected to have some kind of an Arabic accent.

  • Examples Of Racism In Aladdin

    1067 Words  | 5 Pages

    Disney’s portrayal of culture and race in their fairy-tale love stories had often led to backlash and criticism due to racist elements. It’s not a new concept the Disney films have poorly represented the experiences of people of color. As far as Disney Princesses are concerned, the women of color tend to be far less prominent than their Caucasian counterparts. The movie Aladdin (1992) showcases an Arabian princess Jasmine, the first women of color among the Disney princesses. They marketed the movie to people “of all races” devising “Brown” as a monolith to represent all Middle Eastern, South Asian, Black and Latin experiences, which obviously came with some heavy backlash as it shows negative stereotypical imagery and lyrics.

  • Muslim Discrimination In America

    The amount of stories, comments and news articles I have come across based on Muslim discrimination, due to being Muslim, is very concerning. Since the September 11 World Trade Center attacks, media and society in America seem to perceive all Muslims as extremists and enemies. The majority of Muslims have been forced to live in fear of being judged or discriminated against because of their faith. This essay will explore the damage exerted on Muslims as a result of the September 11 attacks and how they have struggled to live in a society that appears to despise them. It will be discussed that Muslims in America face discrimination and danger through violence and vandalism due to their

    This “curiosity for all things from the Orient” also manifested itself in transculturation, where “many” Britons transformed themselves into Muslims. This speaks to the level of interest in the way of the Ottomans, that some went so far as to change everything in their lives. Nabil Matar notes that “members of the lower classes who adopted Islam … saw no religious or cultural divide between them and the Other that they could not easily and willingly cross.” There is no better example of Britain’s curiosity about Islam and the Middle East than this - people that changed themselves to be an “Other” in their own land, and this curiosity would continue over time as

    The novel, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, by John Boyne is about a young German boy named Bruno who moves due to his father promotion to becoming a Commandant (level in the military), to a concentration camp. In what I’ve read thus far, I think the most significant part is when Bruno describes the people in the camps: “[everyone was] wearing the same clothes as each other: a pair of grey striped pajamas with a grey striped cap on their heads” (38 Boyne). Bruno does not comprehend the situation as he describes the people in the camps as “other children [who did not look] at all friendly” (26 Boyne). Since the book is being written in third person limited, it puts the reader in a position in which they have to infer what is truly going on; not

    The spread of Islam had been exceptional since widespread conversion in Southeast Asia started in the 13th century. As Islam continues to grow in present times, it potentially holds great political power over unlimited territory; Islam may eventually hold vast power over our society. Hence, this paper aims to discuss the use of Islam as a political tool and the use of politics in Islam using Indonesia as a key reference. As the process of Indianisation was concluded with the coming of Islam, the cultural heritage of Hinduism is reduced, and eventually, Hinduism will become heritage.
