    Late May 2011, a YouTube channel by the name of ksawomen2drive posted an eight minute video. The first day it was up it became the most viewed clip in Saudi Arabia, and became so popular it started trending worldwide. Any non-Arabic viewer might have been slightly baffled by its popularity. To them it would merely be a clip of a woman in a hijab driving while talking to her passenger, and a poorly filmed clip at that. The hundreds of thousands of Arabic viewers however, saw something all together quite different. They were witnessing a crime take place, an act of dissent. The video gained over 600 000 the few days it was up, but was taken down following the arrest of the driver shown in the clip. Manal al-Sharif was that driver.

  • Analysis of Hulu and Netflix Ads

    1070 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the Hulu plus ad its main message is in bold so it’s the first thing you see. “Try it for free.” Using this technique the Hulu Company shows that they stand behind their product and trust that you will enjoy it so much that they give you a free trial. Hulu supervisors and employees make their company a positive place to be around, with positive energy always flowing. “Every one sits together.” They all work in an area together where they can communicate easily with each other. Once you work for Hulu they turn it into a community where everybody works as a well-organized team, not just several individuals sitting alone in a cubical.

  • A Speech on the Presentation of the Film Reel Bad Arabs

    When I was a little boy I would catch cartoons on television. But back then I was only 5 or 6 years old, so obviously I didn’t realize the negative stereotyping of Arabs was so common throughout cartoons just for the sake of humor. It wasn’t until I was in my early thirties that I really noticed. At the time my children were watching their daily cartoon shows and they basically said: “Daddy, why are there bad Arabs on TV”. It’s quite sad actually, that is took me that long to notice the trend, but that just shows how harmful racial and ethnical stereotyping can be. The film and television industry has been doing this for so long, even back in the times of silent films; people have become accustomed to it.
