Go Back To Where You came From

Take the time to think about the documentary you have just watched.

• What is your initial reaction to the show?

My initial reaction to the show was the variety of racial views shared amoungst the participants. I was strongly attracted to the Life Guard who see's value in both sides and has knowledge that can back up both perspectives. I feel that the youngest girl that was on the show was niave and undoubtably racist. Although she had legible reasons against illegal immagrints, I felt that she was quite hippocritical about stereotypes within society considering she was on Social Welfare Payment. I enjoyed watching the growth of all the characters and their moulding views when put into different situations.

I understand that we are constantly flooded by world vision adverts and generally most people eventually give in due to guilt and obligation.
