Paragraph about tunnel of oppression before reading article

The tunnel of oppression was a very intriguing exhibit with pros and cons. I really liked how they thought out of the box when it came to how to present the material. It was very much a eye-catching exhibit, with unique tactics in which they proved their points. For example, the broken mirror and prison bars (where they made you walk into the jail cell to read the information) were both very unique ways to get you interested in what they had to say. But I have to say I didn't like all the the exhibit. When you are presenting a lot of material I like to think less is more, what i mean by that is if you want to show that many points in which we have oppression in our society than you should only show the important points. I actually felt overwhelmed when going through the exhibit because I felt as if it was impossible to even attempt to read everything, let alone take anything in. It just seems to me that if they wanted to get into that much detail with their examples of oppression in society they need to limit the number of displays. Overall, I thought they could have done a better job in areas but I did like the exhibit and it's overall purpose.
