POLITICAL PROTEST EVALUATION

In our protest we were arguing against political correctness and saying that it's a violation of freedom off speech. In the performance I and Zach were the government Holly, Finn and Sarah were the public,  me and Zach were over powering them with political correctness. We had placards around mine and Zach’s neck and Holly, Finn and Sarah had white masks to hide their identity. We selected the protest because it is a complicated matter and a subject that has many different viewpoints. We went on the internet to gather information and found many articles and different views from the right and left wing. In my personal opinion I don’t agree with the argument that we were protesting against but on some level I do because it is that obstruction of freedom of speech, but there are some areas that do need to be stopped like racism and sexism. I had more of a passion on the other side of our argument but I went along with it and I found it educational and interesting. I thought it was successful in some areas but in the others I thought there could be more work, also when we had to repeat it I was getting bored of doing it so I can only imagine what it was like for the audience. The most effective point in the protest, in my opinion was when me and Zach talked into Holly’s, Finn’s and Sarah’s ears and saying things like, ‘we control you’, ‘there’s no such thing as democracy’. I felt this was the most effective because it showed what the government do sometimes and how they can manipulate the public. The audience were quit confused most of the time but I like the messaged got across in the end. I would have a mixed argument and not have the protest biased; also I would make our costumes better and fancier.
