To me watching, interacting or being in something where everyone is the same wouldn’t be much fun or intriguing. Being in this world with only one type of person, everyone looking the same and everyone acting alike doing similar activities would just get old. In theater we learned all year that the theater isn’t about being like everyone else, speaking or singing, even dressing as everyone does. Theater is about expression, theater is about being your own individual who wants to make a difference and express themselves anyway they can. Race is so important in theater because it integrates the community of theater, can make us learn from one another and can make us see who we truly are on the inside, instead of pretending to be something we are not.
“We are all equal in the fact that we are all different. We are all the same in the fact that we will never be the same. We are united by the reality that all colours and all cultures are distinct & individual. We are harmonious in the reality that we are all held to this earth by the same gravity. We don't share blood, but we share the air that keeps us alive. I will not blind myself and say that my black brother is not different from me. I will not blind myself and say that my brown sister is not different from me. But my black brother is he as much as I am me. But my brown sister is she as much as I am me.” (C. JoyBell C) This passage leads this discussion of perfectly in stating that all men and women white, brown, yellow or
"The Wrong Lunch Line" by Nicholasa Mohr teaches that we don't have to be worried about the differences between us. We all have different religions, beliefs, economic situations, mores, etc, but we should put those differences away because sometimes we can hurt people or make
God made us both.” When I read that sentence, I asked myself how can there be so much racism, even in the world of today, when at the end of the day we are all the same. We all bleed the same and we all feel the same pain. I could not agree more with Chief Standing
Kilrain admires Chamberlain with many compliments on his perspective of negroes being indifferent. Through Chamberlain’s share of personal experience with an intelligent deserving black man, a conversation of general worth is sparked in Kilrain’s mind. Chamberlain validly argues that humans are all the same, yet Kilrain stands by a more general ideology that no two things on this earth are equal. However, it is clear that one argument that is more convincing than the other.
This quote is saying that everyone is equal and that it is not something you can argue about because it's just a natural thing.
expressing that if we are all one in the same then why do people downgrade people of color.
The bible says, Galatians 3:28 “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” We are all seen alike in God’s eyes. In the book To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus shows us how even in the times when everyone was racist, he believed that we are all equal.
The set used for Vernon God Little was highly symbolic and simplistic; when we walked into the theatre we could visually see that there were flowers, cards and memorable items attached on the audiences seats above our heads, which already created a sombre atmosphere around the theatre.
Diversity is said to make us unique and beautiful, yet too often it creates the ugliest conflicts. History will tell us more often than not that fundamental components of human life (race, religion, politics, culture, etc) are the root of many conflicts. Yet, people seem to make our discrepancies seem praiseworthy, and that we must accept them wholeheartedly. Although acceptance is crucial in forming a more empathetic society, it is important to recognize that one’s willingness to accept others is shaped by their past experiences and upbringing.
In conclusion, everyone wasn’t truly equal to each other in my opinion. This clearly demonstrates that everyone is different from each other in varieties of ways. As stated, everyone is not truly equal to each other by how
Does Ambition lead to triumph? Everyone has the desire to have power, have the notion of believing they can have the authority to control anything in the universe, but having the desire to have power can be deadly, not always getting what you aimed for in the beginning. One play that really depicts an example of this is one written by William Shakespeare,called Macbeth. Macbeth,the protagonist of the story lets his ambition mold him into a distinct person.
Learning historical poetry, attending Howard University, and traveling to various battlefields were just some of the actions that helped Coates create this letter directed to his son. If it wasn’t for these life-actions Coates had went through the past couple decades, then he wouldn’t have been able to deeply answer life’s questions on why “we aren't all equal”. Having experienced stories of discrimination, one would be able to pinpoint various factors on why this has been done to those respective individuals. In conclusion, I have given various ideas towards my beliefs regarding the text “Between the World and Me” written by Ta-Nehisi Coates. If these horrible tragedies haven't occurred in the past, then none of these complications of color-discrimination would plague the country today. We would all live in equal societies, where the color of your skin wouldn't change the fact of who you personally are. In the end, one idea that I can conclude would be that Coates had fully answered the question regarding the discriminatory actions towards blacks. All the author wants to show readers in the world is that we are all equal, and the color of your skin personally shouldn't change that. Understanding that train of thought, I completely agree and will invoke the idea that everyone in the country is equal, and that color is
not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”
Starting off my group tried to use the list of movement vocabulary. That didn’t work out so instead we decided to focus on what our theme or story would be. Eventually we settled on two topics, unrequited love and love at first sight.
John F. Kennedy once said " If we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity."
The Public Sphere within theatre was a concept that was first delineated by philosopher Jurgen Habermas in his book titled The structural transformation of the public sphere, in which he refers to the right that all citizens hold, the right to participate and engage into discussions on public matters of interest and public issues. Habermas writes: “the audience does not constitute a space for spectators and listeners but a space for speakers and addresses who engage in debate.” (Habermas in Balme 2012). The Public sphere has now become a space, a stage, for performers, speakers and protesters to have a voice rather than for the preliminary use of entertainment for the audience, spectators and listeners.
