Arab Awareness

If I were to create a media product to encourage people to go out and discover the "Real" truth about Arabs and Muslims, I would create a sitcom. This sitcom would be about an average Arab or Muslim family just totally living normally, but having to live through stereotypical every day situations that average Arabs or Muslims are enduring. For example the father of the family may be accused of being a terrorist and then later would come home to tell his family and they would discuss how stupid it is and would make fun of the whole idea. The idea of a sitcom is to make it easy and enjoyable to watch for all different people. But while they are watching this they will learn how stupid some of the things these people have to go through are, and may start to think twice about things maybe they have said in the past that are just a stereotype, and not reality. My specific audience would be 18-59, but the show will also be enjoyable for teenagers and older people as well, just like most sitcoms such as "Friends". I would be able to tell if my product is effective simply by the ratings the show receives. This media product would be effective in persuasion because people will be learning the truth about Arabs and Muslims without even realizing it; they will be having a good time laughing but will be learning at the same time.
