Afghan Star review

     Afghan Star was a movie that truely showed how different American and Afghanistan culture is. A big difference in what i saw is what is accepted in the Afghan culture. One thing i noticed that really surprised me was that you arent allowed to dance, its a sin. One of the two girls danced up on stage infront of the cameras and thousands of people. And when the cameras went around asking what people thought of it, they told the cameras that she should just die because its such a huge sin. Whereas here in America dancing is an everyday thing and its not frowned apon but its encouraged.

     This just shows part of the restrictions women have in the Afghani culture. There are a lot of things they cant do. And in my eyes coming from the American culture it makes me sad and angry. Because its just showing that women still arent equal to men. The women even  have to wear head raps. This is because their beauty only creates sins. They will only tempt the men to sin. Which isnt fair to do in my opinion because you should be able to control your actions. But apparently they dont believe that.

    Another thing i noticed was how restricted they are, how many rules there are because of the Taliban. An example of that would be; you have to send/call in your vote for the show and the Taliban took down the phone lines, so these people now couldnt vote because there was no way in making a call or text.
