What do you think Serling is saying? Based on what we have studied so far do you agree with this statement? Be sure to support your answer with evidence from literature, history, personal experience, etc. Your answer should be a full paragraph (6-8 sentences).
Serling is sayin that people get too paranoid in crisis situations. As soon as something bad happens, Americans always want to blame somebody. We always want to see people pay for something even if they did not do it. I do agree with Serling's statement beacuse it has happened. My generation started it 9 years ago and it still goes on today with the 9/11 stereotypes. As soon as we found out who was responsible for 9/11 all of a sudden all muslim or people that looked slightly muslim or from the middle east were terrorists. Even now today people say that Osama Bin Laden must drive a cab or work at 7/11. It's a shame that our country stoops to that level but as Serling points out in a deperate time or when we are scared we will try to take other people out to make ourselves feel better.
