Tunnel of Oppression
The Tunnel of Oppression made me think about things that don't typically cross my mind. My favorite and most impressionable part was the thermometer that had the 10 worst dictators in the world today. It showed a picture of them as well as why they were such horrible dictators. I've always known they were bad but no one has ever really told me exactly what horrible things they do. I also liked the part where you could drop marbles into the jars if the statement applies to you. I think it would have been more effective if it were closed off and only one person could enter at a time because some people may not want others to see what jars they are going to drop there marbles in. I also think they could have improved it by showing a different section every day for a week or so. That way people aren't overwhelmed from seeing everything at once.

Just a quick personal comment on your last suggestion. By the way, I do appreciate your creativity and the process of finding alternative solutions instead of just criticizing. But, would you have gone multiple times in the same week if they had done it in sections? If you answer yes, then I hope you will go back to it before it ends tomorrow to see the sections that you did not see...It is on for three days; this allows people to go multiple times if they wish and go section by section, but you can also get the full picture if you have time constraints. And it allows you to choose based on what you see, not the general theme, hence introducing you to new topics to which you might not have gone...This is really just a personal response.
