Texts motivate the collective to question the realities presented. Orwell's novel ‘1984’ provides a political commentary on the impact of a totalitarian regime. Similarly, Peter Wier's film ‘The Truman Show’ is used to depict the rise of mass surveillance and the paranoia that follows in the post-Cold War period of 1998. Orwell's and Wier's works likewise bring forth concepts that...

A situation, state, or idea is artificial when it has been created unnaturally, and therefore seems unnecessary or insincere. Thus, in many ways, the term “artificial” can be applied to Henrik Ibsen’s play A Doll’s House, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s short stories “Jumping Monkey Hill” and “The Arrangers of Marriage” from her short story collection “The Thing Around Your Neck”....
