    It's funny how people are saying the US shouldn't take in refugees or that they shouldn't take more but, the nation was based on refugees that fled their country in search for a save haven.

    Hello, I am just experimenting with this idea for my classroom. We are about to read Huxley's Brave New World and I thought using this website would be high interest and would also facilitate discussion. Very nice interpretation of the picture. I agree, the key element working here is the inducement of shame.
