Abstract
Having the visual and linguistic text of the film Hamam as the main data, the chapter discusses how the values are attributed to the images of orientalism and modernism and how these attributions affect the meaning, value, and consumption of the messages. Not only the cultural codes as Barthes mentioned were deciphered through the qualitative and descriptive methodology mainly following the discourse analysis, but also the chapter relies upon the data analysis making use of the 12T's approach inspired by Stoller and Grabe's Six-T's Approach for Content-Based Instruction. In this research, each T refers to a different perspective that controls the quality of the sample questioned and helps to establish consistency, cohesion, and coherence of the text. These T's put forward how the reflections of orientalism and modernism were scattered in the film Hamam and how Western images vs. Orientalism were put in a complementary and counteracting way helps to shape the new identities.

Developing a Socially Responsible Approach to IT Research
Modernism is a post World War I cultural movement built upon a strict adherence to the belief that individuals are responsible for their own fates. In other words, it is assumed that each individual or group can, through their own actions, achieve the benefits and privileges available to all members of society. Modernism is also linked with the progress associated with capitalist societies. Capitalism requires a division of social classes and a clear articulation of social stratification (Wright, 1998). Roughly, this means that there is a place or role for each person in society. Lastly, modernism is Eurocentric. Knowledge and power are arranged in a hierarchical order in which some cultural groups, their values, and their value are marginalized.
