Triad Experience

1. 

2. For the triad group project, my partner and I went to the Satanic Temple in downtown Salem which is a new exhibit to show the history and propaganda around Satanism in the United States.

3. We called the location ahead of time asking what were the hours it was open and what kind of exhibit it was, we found out that it was a self-guided tour.

4. We asked some questions about the statue and what certain things carved on the statue represented and why the statue was made the way it is.

5. We were able to find out only a little bit of information because the exhibit is still new and is still having new things added to it. We learned about some things such as the Satanic Panic that had occurred in 1980 where everyone believed that the practice of Satanism was becoming public. We also learned about the different statues and symbols related to Satanism and how they are different as compared to other religions.

6. This helped contribute to finding a sense of place in Salem because it adds to the popularity of Halloween in Salem and the history of Salem as well.

7. I wanted to learn more about how Satanism was related to propaganda but we did not have time to ask since the place was going to close soon. 

8. I chose to write about the history of Satanism and why its important for people to know about it. 

9. I have read this assignment and I understand how the presentation should go.
