Crash and "The Arab Image" have many similarities and differences. In both the article and the movie the over all theme is to change stereotypes. You can tell through out both that their message is the same, that you cant judge anyone by the way they look. In the movie Crash there are obviously some bad people and others who are just caught up in something bad. This is similar in "The Arab Image" the author tells us that you can not judge Arab people for some of the fanatics and then you can not tell what their religion is just by looking at them either.
There are also differences. "The Arab Image" is focused on one group of people and the movie Crash is focused on many different groups, but through out both the message is the same.
