Enemy is a common word. Everyone knows what it means and upon mention an example will most likely enter a person's head. But, everyone has different examples. An enemy could be some fictitious character or possibly a threatening country and its people.
We watched a film by Sam Keen that looked into this. Mr. Keen researched how different countries displayed their enemies. Many of them used the same images. It appeared to be a universal opinion that certain animals were bad and somethings always represented good.
What this really shows is that countries are not that different from one another. It was very interesting when he showed images from opposing countries that had similar cartoons. There are some things that link people from all over the world together.
