Satire

Satire is such a powerful tool used in everyday life, TV shows, commercials, movies, and so much more. There are numerous tools used to display satire. For example, Diversity Day from the television series, The Office, uses stereotypes. The target in this video clip is different ethnic groups. When Dwight asks Pam if his ethnic group is a woman, a huge satire is exposed. Dwight's ethnic group was Asian, and Pam said that from stereotypes, he may not be a good driver. It is a huge stereotype that women cannot drive very well, in the truth, most women can drive very well.

Another example would be the you-tube clip called "Facebook in Reality." The target is our society we have around today and the tool used is irony. When the man opens his front door to a man her doesn't remember, he reminds him. The man at the door claims to have been in his class a few years ago and wants to be his friend. When the clueless guy says yes, another older, chubbier man starts to spray paint on his house. When the owner asks what he is doing, the older guy responds with, "I'm writing on your wall." Our society has turned into something where if you barely know someone, you become friends with them on Facebook. Even if that means they sit next to you for a few days, you have an urge to friend request them.
