We're doing still life's in Art. I think I did well, but my definition of 'realism' and 'accurate' could use some work. It's a good thing there's always room to improve! #traditional #traditionalart #stilllife #realism #semirealism #photo #drawing #sketching #art #shells #flowers #fakeflowers #classproject #pencilsketch #sketch #pencilonpaper #pencil #paper https://www.instagram.com/p/BtjltUMlUAw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mkqy78e69crg

The use of satire in social media on political issues

Mahmoud Al-Nafei 

October 3, 2017

Satire a literary manner which blends humor with criticism for instruction or the improvement of humanity. 

Satire is a powerful art form which has the ability to point out the deficiencies in certain human behaviors and the social issues which result from them in such a way that they become absurd, even hilarious, which is therefore entertaining and reaches a wide audience. 

Satire also has the ability to protect its creator from culpability for criticism, because it is implied rather than overtly stated; in this way, it becomes a powerful tool for dissenters in difficult or oppressive political and social periods. The role of satire is to ridicule or criticize those vices in the society, which the writer considers a threat to civilization. 

The writer considers it his obligation to expose these vices for the betterment of humanity. Therefore, the function of satire is not to make others laugh at persons or ideas they make fun of. It intends to warn the public and to change their opinions about the prevailing corruption/conditions in society.

Political campaigns are now influenced by every story, whether true or not, that gets spread around social media. It’s getting more and more difficult to separate actual news from fake news online. Social media makes this distinction especially confusing. The constant stream of memes, links, and rumors about political leaders and candidates is a mixture of truth, lies, satire, and speculation.

There are now quite a few fake or satirical “news” sites that often post stories that sound authentic. The Onion is the best known of these, but there are now many others as well. Some fake news sites are not even amusing but simply exist to post clickbait stories or to troll readers who don’t do their own research.
