Read the article linked below:

· http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/globalconnections/mideast/questions/types/index.html (Links to an external site.)

Now that you have read about many of the common stereotypes regarding Islam and the Middle East, which stereotypes did you believe to be true?  Have your perceptions changed at all? 

How do you feel about the common perceptions the rest of the world has about Americans?  Where do those stereotypes come from?  Are those perceptions harmful to us as a nation? As individuals?

Please make your own comments first and then build on at least three of the comments of your classmates.  Work for at least 3 well-developed sentences in each response.
