I also went to the viewing of “The Other Town.” It was surprisingly a very interesting documentary and also made me think about this class. It discussed issues about the relationship between the Turks and the Greeks. Throughout the documentary people from both groups were interviewed. They discussed the same event or issue, but what they said actually happened was completely different from the other side. It made me realize how subjective education can actually be. What we learn in school is what most people believe. We take the word of the teachers and textbooks as fact, and normally do not question it. It just made me realize how whatever a child is taught in school can later on regulate into what they believe of the world. If a child is taught throughout school certain views upon a different group of people, then that is how they are going to see that group.
