Response to “America for Dummies”

This is a response to the video documentary “America for Dummies”. I think that Naiz Mosharraf did a great job in creating this documentary. He chose a subject that was meaningful to him and translated it in a way that it should be meaningful to the youth in the United States. I have seen videos like this before in which people throughout New York city were asked to name a country that started with a “U”. Some of the people failed to even think of their own country that they are living in. Naiz went around aroud and showed pictures of people with political power, then also showed the same people pictures of people from the pop culture. It tells a lot of our country and it’ youth when Paris Hilton is quickly recognizable but our leaders are not. He also does a good job in showing that maybe our leaders are teaching us wrong. He shows a clip of George Bush saying that there is evil in the middle east. This only evokes hate. Instead of doing this, Naiz thinks that our government should educate us on the positions that these people are sometimes put into and how they grow up.
