In The 70's
Freedom: 8/10
Freedom in the 70's was high because that was the time of the flower power, everyone wanted to make love, be happy, have peace and do lots of drugs without anyone caring.
Illusions: 9/10
Illusions represent hallucinations because of the drugs.
Love: 10/10
Love is very high because of what the freedom was like, everyone wants to shag each other.
Hate: 3/10
Hate is low because everyone wants to be happy.
Birth: 6/10
Birth would be high because there contraception was "pulling out" and not many did. Birth also represented a new beginning.

Social discussion - is to talk about something in the past or present that has the power to change the world.
Romeo and Juliet was modernised and broadcasted in the 90's to show us about gangs to change our mindsets. Themes in it affected the time period in Shakespeare's time affects us now but on different levels
Othello was re-broadcasted in 2000 in new york but they changed it slightly so instead of it being 1 black guy and the rest of the cast black, they made it so it was 1 white guy and the rest of the cast black.
