1) Read the play “An Enemy of the People” by Henrik Ibsen. Here is a wiki summary:
“An Enemy of the People (original Norwegian title: En folkefiende) is an 1882 play by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen that delves into the conflict between personal integrity and societal norms. The play centers on Dr. Thomas Stockmann, who discovers a serious contamination issue in his town's new spas, endangering public health. His courageous decision to expose this truth brings severe backlash from local leaders, including his brother Peter Stockmann, who is a powerful political figure in the town.” | (Bold emphasis added.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Enemy_of_the_People2) After reading or watching a film adaption of the play, ponder and journal whether you can observe any parallels between contamination of a water supply and the dilution / denial of rights and freedoms. Ask yourself: Did I take the side of conscience or of coercion? Did I rule in favour of personal integrity or of fluctuating, oppressive societal / cultural norms? Did my denial of appeal further the agendas of tyranny or of freedom?
3) Ponder whether you can change course and commit to helping the people of Canada understand "that considerations of expediency turn morality and justice upside down." Are you, able to stand alone, if need be, against the rising tide of tyranny?
