Weekly Entry #6
I recently went into NYC and saw “Spring Awakening” on Broadway. The play takes place in Germany in the early 1800’s. This video clip features the song “The Bitch of Living”. The characters within the play are a group of teenagers who struggle to overcome the suppression of their rights. Their access to knowledge and the media is severely limited and as a result of this suppression of information there are dire consequences. If the characters had had access to certain forms of knowledge then many of the dismal situations which occurred could have been avoided. I included this clip in my blog because I believe it demonstrates the powerful effects which the withholding of information has upon people.
