An example is Lewis Hines, when he took photographs of child labor, and how children were treated in factories. Of coarse, it was not easy to get the pictures, but when he did, everyone was in shock. It showed the truth to what has happened. <span />
The particular piece of music is the third piece in the composers 20th collection of works. That can included all kinds of things like symphony's operas among others.
