Document Summary

Pay attention to reasons why they do the surgery to look more european. If in poverty, is it really a choice: ex. Child picking up trash in the movie hopscotch and little girls for a bit of money to buy flour for breakfast. Social construct important to diversity (able to identify differences within different people) Othering: in some way, intentional or accidental, to identify another group by personality, race -- creates social barriers: ex. Nazi propaganda against jews, gypsies, africans, : pigeon theory tool to other the people around you, making them less than human (ex. Clips of rats and men praying in synagogue) When few = exotic, interesting and you embrace it, when many = disgust, not wanting to be in contact, there are too many: when too many they don"t dress like us, smell funny, etc. Hermeneutics: concerning interpretation, especially of the bible or literary texts.
