The First.

Prior to our first meeting, we read the play Good People by Haresh Sharma and figured out some of the main issues/themes that surfaced as we were reading the play. The discussion was a concise and productive one as we had ideas in mind. Here are a list of themes which we have discussed:

  • Perceptions of self/others
  • Secularism vs. religion
  • Morality vs. law
  • Death penalty as corporal punishment
  • Rigidity of system vs human compassion
These issues were built around the main idea of right or wrong being a case of relativity.

We have also embarked on an online diary to document our thought processes as we felt that this would be an interesting technological tool for collaborative work.
