Reflection Journal Multi-Media Entry 4: My Name Is Khan
“MY NAME IS KHAN AND I’M NOT A TERRORIST”
This is a reflection to the movie “My Name is Khan” that was an Indian film made up in 2010. Rizvan Khan is an American muslim man who suffers from Asperger’s syndrome that is a form of high functioning autism and this causes to make socialization complicated. The movie is about the challenge of this person to speak to the President seriously. There are a lot of scenes that affect me in many aspects, but it is better to mention about scenes that are related to special education since our dealing is about this issue. In early ages of Rizvan, his mother said that “ there are only two kinds of people; good people wo do good deeds and bad people who do bad.” She taught him by drawing schemas and their relations. Then, Rizvan learnt how to adapt to the society with different types of people. While he was talking, people around him would think that he is mad at first, but this was resulting in his problem that he couldn’t use or show gestures and facial expressions, but again with his problem; he is also very intelligent and doesn’t have any mental disabilities. When people are aware of this fact, they think that he isn’t mad really, even he is better that us mentally. His brother has a company and he wants Rizvan to sell the company’s beauty products ,and Rizvan goes and find a beauty center. When he enters here first, women in the center consider this strange and can not give a meaning. On the other hand, when he began to present beauty products very effectively, they started to think that he is not insane, and products are really good to use. In the last, when he arrived at the president, Rizvan took a permission from him and spoke to the country: “My name is Khan and I’m not a terrorist” and also mentioned about his mother’s saying that I wrote above before. He had become a symbol for peace and had overcome prejudices about muslims. As we understand from above explanations, people with disabilities should not be seen as different and incapable. Their being different is resulting from our bias. Hence, not try to integrate them into society, the important thing is to eliminate any prejudices about them.
