I enjoyed the movie we watched in class. I liked how we could see AL Jazeera's point of view on the wars and how their news works about the whole situation. In America, were only used to seeing damage to buildings and hearing about deaths, while in Al Jazeera, they show everything ranging from piles of dead bodies to actual footage of killing happening. I don't necessarily agree with the method that Al Jazeera uses to show their citizens what is happening, but it gives the people much more of an understanding of how dangerous the times could be. As US citizens we hear a lot about what is happening, but I think a visual of some of the troubles going on every now and then would help our understanding just a little bit more.
I guess I like to learn about these types of things because my cousin was killed in Iraq by a roadside bomb. I can relate to the people losing their lives and their loved ones losing their lives. In America, we hear a lot about what is happening in the middle east, but why cant we see some of what is happening? I think we should change our news a little just so we could get a better grasp on what is happening to the people who are fighting to keep our freedom.
