Theater

I had to write a 5 page paper on stage lighting for a class that I am pretty sure every student has an A in, regardless of how much work they did or how much they cared.
Here is a paragraph that I couldn't figure out how to fit in.



Engineering and theater have this in common: they both strive to make the world a better place by enriching the lives of an audience that doesn’t understand or know who these players are. But they are different in how they accomplish it. Engineers design products, services, and systems that allow people to do less and less by thinking less and less and knowing little about what is actually happening. The stage forces people to examine themselves, to think, to question what reality really is. For all I know, this might be a more noble cause.
