It’s funny, this last weekend, I attended a high school play “The Miracle Worker”. I was quite fond of the movie when I was growing up. As I watched it, I was amazed at how different our culture was back then. Annie had no problem “forcing” (if you know the movie, you know what I mean by “forcing”) Helen to change her behavior.
I also thought to myself, there’s absolutely no way a movie like this would be made today. But even if it was Annie would be seen as an uncompassionate, mean-spirited, intolerant person who should be shouted down.
And heven help her if CPS got ahold of her. Gosh, how far we’ve come.
LOL interesting observation!
Indeed, Annie would be the “CRUEL” person.
Just like people who TRULY seriously discipline children and dogs are “cruel” these days.
Yet they have the best-mannered beasties. And consequently, the 1s who are most well-liked by the most people. ;-)
