Deep Acting and Surface Acting Deep acting is better than surface acting in that it transfers conflict into positive vector. A stewardess's deep acting will sense the complaining passenger is experiencing stress, anxiety at home. Then the stewardess won't have to deal with all the unpleasantness brought by the passenger. Lewis Pugh listened to music and remembered the jumping out of plane when he was at the army before his last plunge. Pugh was also using deep acting. The Dangers of Venting Martin Luther King Jr. rehearsed all his parishioners against future violence they would encounter on buses. Parishioners were taught when abused, pushed, thrown at, by "white" people, they could "speak" out but not fight with the white. Studies show that venting doesn't help anger. Instead of being angry "with" the target, one should be angry "for" the people that will be hurt by the target. We don't need to punish. We help. Popović led his people's venting into positive action to vote out their dictator. That fall, the dictator lost his election. Four years later, Popović became Serbian president. ------------------------------------------------------------------- E.B.
