Furthermore, in popular culture, entertainment outlets, such as novels, television, and films, have portrayed alien species as vastly different from human species. In more cases, the alien species ravages Earth in search of resources. This portrayal of aliens is often based on the own human ability to take advantage of weaker, and vastly different civilizations. Furthermore, when asked to imagine aliens, people typically conjure up an image of a green figure, with a bulbous head, and black eyeballs.
