Summary
Susie saw an interview with Charles Manson's son, and wanted Sarah to explain why he was so forgiving of his dad. Susie gave a pep talk about the USA and why you shouldn't be despondent about the state of our country, despite what you might feel, after watching a documentary about North Korea. We learn about an Asian phenomenon of malaise and isolation among young people and why the government is working to treat it through a happiness factory that helps parents relate to their kids. Susie recounts a scandal with the Duke lacrosse team where they were wrongfully accused of assault, and how the media, political ambition, and stereotypes perpetuated it. We hear why dance is a fundamental human act and how dancing can produce empathy, growth, and connection.
