This week we finished the tragedy
that is The Scarlet Letter. Although
we have finished the revelation, we have just begun to expand our views on
literature. In today’s busy society, many don’t proclaim
their views in life like they used to. Back then, people would stand on street
corners and yell at the top of their lungs to proclaim what they believed in much like how the mayor's wife did about witchcraft. Than as society became more civilized newspapers were formed and many began to
share their opinions right next to where your monthly update on how an election
or debate in the government. Than everything changed when the internet
was invented. Reading turned into a slower way to deliver news. Communities and media became closer together and
now rather than reading news stories, many have turned to social media or even videos
to display their ideas and views. Instead of the news being limited to those
who were approved by the staff of a newspaper, anyone can go online and publish
a work of their views without facing interference. Even comedians like John
Oliver in Last Week Tonight can
deliver today's modern problems with a bit of humor to help raise awareness for
real life events that need more public attention. So really in today’s day and
age, we are in the most open idealistic society ever in history because of the widespread communication and to think
what one author during the 1850 can write a story about societies view on
others sin, it is almost impossible to see what kind of evolution will happen next.
