Satire to Me!

SATIRE TO ME

I believe that in today's society satire is just another form of expressing yourself and the views you may have on something. It provides a light-hearted way to address an issue, without directly insulting someone. Satire also forces people to think about the message that is being portrayed in that given piece of satire. I like how many different pieces of satire can be taken in different ways depending on how a given individual interprets what the artist or writer is trying to say. Satire could also be classified as comedy, because almost all the time pieces of satire will make one laugh. If satire is done correctly it will address an issue without being overly insulting. There are sometimes when I believe people take satire to far and it becomes just rude, which is not what satire is meant to do. As long as satires main goal is to address an issue and not just be rude, then I think it is a great thing.
