Blind spot

mistakes that not have been released to the general public. The show tries to enhance the amazing work done by the CIA. However, it also tries to hide its failures as much as it can. A notion of hiding mistakes can be perceived several times along the show. There is a very powerful moment in the story where one can infer that human errors can happen even within the CIA. For example, when Carrie Madison suspects that long time captive U.S. Marine Nicholas Brody had been turn and therefore she needed to prevent a possible terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Madison plants cameras and microphones in almost every corner of Brody’s house however she leaves a blind spot in the garage.

This mistake is a reflection that there are some blind spots within the CIA and therefore they cannot always be right. Nevertheless, the majority of individuals who watch this show are mostly passive and will neither pay close attention to details nor create a personal counter-argument. They are more interested in being entertained than gaining cultural knowledge. As a case study, it would be interesting to determine how much of an impact these productions have had on the existing Arab perception. Spy thrillers try to portray the main characters as heroes who will combat evil and prevail national security. However, these shows also have a huge fault in portraying a false image of Arabs and their…

Blind spots expand and contract due to numerous factors, namely an inattentive media, arcane congressional rules, and general voter apathy. These blind spots, no matter how small, help dissolve the notion of representative democracy. Politicians and parties, with the assistance of blind spots, can disregard…

My blind spots in terms of people that I might be leaving out and the opportunities I might be missing are with people who are generally quiet and don’t talk much, also with people who talk a lot. I don’t talk to people I don’t know that well because it’s like what is there to talk about? It’s kinda awkward at first because sometimes there is simply nothing to say. Now I realize that I could be missing out on some interesting people, but when you try to talk to someone and they give you short…

An individual's humanity could keep them from doing what is right, when another would have no problem instituting justice. Their humanity could also help them see an innocent man, when another man would see the facts, and…

My blind spot is unrealistic role expectations. The ELI points out that I can become influenced by the expectations of the various community and set unrealistic role expectations for myself. I might develop a belief that I can solve everyone’s problems and by doing that I undermine that others are responsible for their own choices. I might have a false judgement that I deserve special treatment because of my role. Without clear thinking, I may not be able to assess my effectiveness accurately in…

Some did not know what to expect and did not like it or people who just didn't like putting in the time to really learn anything and improve. I have also had the opportunity to meet many different people from around the country and even the world from going to different seminars and training camps, none of which I…

After nearly 20 spins, they were beginning to feel a bit uncomfortable.

His right foot was on the yellow spot next to Alfie’s hand, and his left foot on the green spot in between the two yellow spots where Phil had his feet. Phil was leaning back…
