Love, Memory, Healing: Drama and Dance

     This week texts focuses on the healing of our community in order to move on from our trauma and fix our future. bell hooks explains how without love there is no solving any of our problems because love over come all evil. Essentially she means that until we love our self and the land we will never fix our planet because we don't love it as much as we think we do. When you love something you go to war behind it and protect it with all your might. With this being said we need establish love so that we can let it guide us into change. The other text expresses the fact that climate change causes mental disease such as stress, depression and other traumatic conditions.

    This weeks text was very fun to dive deep into and dissect the meanings. I really enjoyed reading bell hooks and talking about her theory. The discussion in class was by far my favorite of this semester;  we talked about the controversy of the world on love and violence. This conversation sparked different ideas that was shared by classmates and I really enjoyed hearing the opinions of others on this very tense subject. Overall this week's text was insightful to read because it made me realize that everyone on earth needs some type of mental help and are suffering from the system that is put in place by society.

system- a process or procedure of something

theory- thoughts that explains a situation

controversial- can be agreeable and disagreeable depending on your stand point of a situation
