The topic was a very interesting thing to not only read and write about, but it was thought provoking to think about as well. Multiculturalism is something that does not seem prevalent in today's age. However, it may be because many people have the wrong impression of what true multiculturalism is. Through the three works I viewed, each one had a different interpretation of the significance of multiculturalism in a society, but they all shared a similar theme -- that multiculturalism may be hard to achieve because society is so fixated on the characteristics that define people. Without understanding and avoiding the ignorance that causes stereotypical racism, society may never be able to realize the dream of multiculturalism that so many desire.
As a reader/analyzer, reading and watching the three works -- Crash, American Son, and Bordertown -- has given me a new perspective on this topic. I have learned that digging into the deeper meaning behind pieces is essential in discovering the true message. If true understanding is not reached, some messages may be misinterpreted or not understood. Sometimes, however, some works' meanings may be intentionally hard to determine, so it is important as a reader to pay close attention to detail. As a writer, I must work on making sure everything flows nicely in my writings. If it doesn't flow well, then my interpretation that I set forth for my readers may be muddied and hard to convey.
