In today's world we live in a highly media-driven way. The media can influence people's attitudes towards a certain direction depending on the circumstances. Racial profiling is a very sensitive topic that every individual can relate to. It is known as the inclusion of racial or ethnic characteristics in determining whether an individual is considered likely to commit a particular type of crime or illegal act. For example, the media has “essentialized” the meaning of terrorism destroying the sweet religion of Islam. The word essentialize means to combine complex terms into a single thought or image making it simpler. Because of racial profiling we view terrorists as any type of brown male. It is the society we live in and therefore we have no choice in dealing with it. What exactly does the term racial profiling mean?

The media contributes to 90% of these stereotypes (Geek). As in the inner cities, African Americans are criticized for their actions, while Latinos are blamed for most of the drugs 2
