George Orwell’s criticisms of socialism in his book‚ The Road to Wigan Pier‚ present the compelling argument that socialism is almost an impossible concept to acknowledge‚ at least in the context of England.

I found The Road to the Stamping Ground video very interesting. I found myself very intrigued by the Aboriginal culture to say the least. I really enjoyed watching Jiri Kylián’s point of view on how he wanted to bring out Aboriginal culture into a modern ballet dance‚ he comes off as a very passionate choreographer. I like how he mentioned about how the Aboriginal dances are tied with nature‚ then watching Kylian’s Stamping ground performance he tied the two together in a beautiful and modern way

Most have already lost their humanity‚ however‚ some strive to keep what it left of what they used to be.
