Social Commentary

Social Commentary refers to the act of using rhetoric, art, literature, or other forms of expression to provide opinions or insights about social issues, behaviors, and constructs. It aims to critique or highlight specific societal norms, values, injustices, or trends, often prompting audiences to reflect on and engage with these topics critically. Social commentary can manifest in various forms, including essays, films, music, visual arts, and satirical works. The intent is often to provoke thought, inspire change, or raise awareness about significant matters affecting individuals or communities. Through this medium, artists, writers, and thinkers can challenge the status quo and encourage dialogue about important issues such as race, gender, class, politics, and more.
