Fear of Difference

For example H.P. Lovecraft’s horror stories of aliens, mythical beasts, and demons. He demonstrates the scale of man within his society where the Fear of not understanding what something is, destroys the sense of security within his grounded life.




Through a study of Neill Blomkamps movie “District 9” we can see his impression of the social implications of racism in South Africa through a contemporary approach. The aliens are hard to understand and the citizens of South Africa feel they are taking over rights which belong to them. Throughout the movie there is a perception of misunderstandings.
