Society would become ignorant to having their own opinions, indoctrinated by those in power to share similar views. Although a small minority may eventually revolt against the obstruction of expression, causing possible rebellion.
If we couldn't express ourselves people would begin to resent the government, leading to rebellion or the need to change. There would be no variety and it would inhibit the opportunities to evolve and develop. Entertainment would cease to exist, with no platforms such as theatre, TV, film, music and art.Those growing up with ideas like this would lead to an ignorant generation and their lives would become dull and rather futile, with poor prospects of bettering themselves.
What gives us the right to discuss potentially upsetting topics?
Freedom of speech within our society. Because our ancestors involvement in these movements, we must change what they did wrong, learning from our/society's previous mistakes.
Theatre/Art is a great opportunity to educate the masses and prevent future injustice and with the use of upsetting images, to make spectators think and react.
If it is truth, it deserves to be told.
