I'm not a psychologist, so I don't know if there's a particular term for this, but I believe people behave the way other people expect them to. In other words, people create a 'role' based on other people's perceptions of you, and, subconsciously, try to act out their 'role'. If the world will not change its views of muslims as violent maniacs, then over time, that is how they'll identify, and that is how they'll act.

In other words, the media need to get their sh*t together!
Quote:The problem with media representation of such issues tends to be that the media only picks up the loudest voices, ignoring the rational ones that do not generate as much noise. Voices that seek tolerance, dialogue and understanding are always drowned out by the more sensationalist loud calls, giving viewers the impression that these views are representative of all the Arab public’s view.Ain't that the truth!
