In Minority Report the other is considered the potentional criminal. The potentional criminal is treated wrost than if they actually comitted the crime. In Hollywood and the Rhetoric of Panic by Antonio Sanchez-Escalonilla says that, "The conflict between national security and civil liberties is one of the underlying themes in Minority Report." These potentional criminals aren't being given their rights. In the movie it seems that all forms of privacy is abused. The governement basically examines people's thoughts and deteremines whether they're a criminal or not. The problem with that is that people change their minds and some people do not fully act out their thoughts. In many ways, I believe, this movie shows how America treated Middle Eastern people after 9/11. In the film, the potentional criminals aren't asked any questions about what they were going to do and they are abusivly handled. While the authorities and other people observe and applaud because they believe that everyone should be safe, even if it means invading privacy. America, in other ways, did this to Middle Eastern Americans. On planes and in stores and almost anywhere (after 9/11) Middle Eastern people were outcast.
worse, not worst, and a potential criminal is singular, so you have to use he or she. You need to proof your blogs before posting, and check grammar. You do a good job with the article you have read.
