Satirical Reflection

Reflection on Satire Projects


The satire projects really helped me to see satire and understand it in its many forms. One of the projects that stood out to me was Kylie Boren's video of John Oliver on gun control. The way he satirized the representative for the conservatives agaisnt gun control was very amusing. Oliver did a great job of showing the ignorance of the representavtive and those who side with him about how gun control "can't work", when in fact it already has. This satire is clearly exposing the complete oblivion of those in society who think like this man does. To refuse gun control laws when they have helped save the lives of many people in another country since they have been set is harmful to our society mentally and physically. Mentally because it is harmful to the thoughts and intelligence of our society, and physically because no one wants another shooting to occur. If there are ways to prevent this from happening, we need to take action
