In the movie, the barrier of race and culture initially prevented Walt from realizing the moral connection he had between the Lor family. Once he was able to get past that, he realized he had more in common with them than his own family. And once the cultural barrier was no longer an issue, the movie became more about the lack of respect of American youth. In my personal experiences, I have not encountered kids quite as disrespectful as Walt's grandchildren, though I'm sure they are out there. Regardless, I feel this lack of respect is a big problem that is changing the American culture in a negative way.
From the Dubai student's perspective, is this a known issue? If not is there a common stereotype of the American youth over there?
