I myself am no exception. In an airport I do sometimes look at a man in a turban or woman in a hijab with concern. However we understand very little of the culture of the middle east.

Commentary on Film and Society Although depicting a society quite different from our own, the film The Maze Runner is able to reflect to several issues within both of our worlds.
