Aspect of media literacy: To promote global understanding while developing critical thinking skills about mass media and popular culture among young children. 

 

Dr. Renee Hobbs, founder and director of the media education lab, once did an experiment to explore the stereotypes that children in the US had about different places in the Middle East. She suggests that media literacy eduction is crucial for combatting this issue.

Artwork: I believe that movies could help either combat or reinforce negative media stereotypes of the peoples and cultures of the Middle East.

In order to increase knowledge, tolerance, and acceptance, children would watch the movie Aladdin together and critically analyze it. They would try to uncover the stereotypes and ideally create an alternative movie/narrative that would counter the stereotypes and misconceptions that they uncovered. 

This is an installation by the architecture studio Rael san Fratello ( Virginia san Fratello and Ronald Rael intitled “ Teeter-Totter wall” Which connected children in the us and Mexico via a trio see saws slotted in the countries border wall. This is a reminder that the actions on one side have consequences on the other. And they choose the pink color because it is used to remember women who have died from violence since the early 1990s. in my opinion this architecture shows  that people should stand together even if we live in different countries and lands and that wars racisms all those aspect should not exist anymore.
