Here's what ticks ME off .....

Read the article (link below). We have tons of things that people protest....capital punishment, prejudice, etc. Those ARE important issues, for sure.

Here's something that you might find even more compelling. Who is in control of our food and water? Who is poisoning the world's children? Yep, you guessed it; the same people who poisoned thousands of dogs and cats last year...the Chinese "food" industry.

If they had oil, would our government be in there bombing them to kingdom come?

Welcome Arts Protesters!

All through history, all across the world, there has always been something to be ticked off about.....and there have been people willing to step up and say, "NO WAY!"


In your small group, you have 5 minutes to come up with a list of 15 situations people have protested in past history. Your group recorder will post this to the blog.


In your small group, you have 20 minutes to research and be prepared to talk about at least two specific works of art that have protested a specific situation. Your group recorder will post to the blog and present to the rest of the class.
