Description
The Best Paragraph I've Read: Satire is "the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues." This paragraph is the result of a Google Search for the definition of the word "Satire." Zac and Don discuss satire in our society. They do this by discussing the role of phones and social media in our lives. They also discuss the truth behind the Hansel and Gretel Fairy Tale. The following article and podcast are discussed: New Yorker Daily Shout: https://www.newyorker.com/humor/daily-shouts/ah-another-beautiful-morning-time-to-ruin-it-by-immediately-opening-my-phone Tim Harford Podcast: The Truth About Hansel and Gretel https://timharford.com/2021/10/the-truth-about-the-truth-about-hansel-and-gretel/
