Living Theater
... on a page of thousands of dots, those few gave the left wing plays a pulse beat leading them into the theater of tomorrow.
The left wing turned away from realistic plays that search for and provide answers to social problems or questions. Instead it seeks the what is the point? the where am-I going? and the what is my identity?(Gottfried 57). They think of theater as an art not a business. Because it is looked at as an art there are not limits to the content , no right or wrong. Boundaries were erased.
Julian Beck, a far left winger, looked at life through art and saw life itself as unrealistic. In 1946 Julian B ...

American Republican Ideology
... It is first necessary to understand the exact reasons why the
ancestors of the American revolutionaries chose to live in America, as
opposed to staying in England, where a healthy and prosperous life was a
much greater possibility. America was, in the eyes of its first English
settlers, an open book with no writing on the pages. It was the foundation
