Global Issue-Racism
I felt strongly about racism, since I know that even now, although there are laws that protects different race of people, however, there are people around the world are still being racist. Being in a different skin color, and having different eye color actually doesn't really mean anything. However, many people does not understand that. People tend to stereotype a particular skin color people. For example, there are research (eg. black doll, white doll experiment) that show people with black skin usually think themselves as 'lower' than the white people, or that white people are nicer, better. White people are also tend to think that they are 'higher' than the black people. This problem are directed by the education that people receive. If people in the next generation receive information that everyone are equal, then most of them are tend to think that they are equal. I believe that most people in this generation watch disney princesses and cartoons. The princesses in the cartoons are usually white people (Ariel, Cinderella, Belle, Sleeping beauty), and black people are usually slaves. Which this is one of the reason why black people tend to think white people are better.
Augusto Boal's theatre can catch public's awareness, therefore promote and educate people that everyone are actually equal, no matter what skin color they have. It can also let people that started the discrimination to understand the feeling of lonely, sadness, despair of the people who've been discriminated. Other than that, it also allows people to think and discuss of a solution when they encounter any similar or same situations.
