Satire is used to bring attention (in an absurd way) to a social issue. Ultimately, satire is used to bring about social change

Choose a modern comedian or TV show that uses satire and make connections between the kind of satire used in Hogarth’s Marriage a la Mode paintings, Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels, Book IV, and/or Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro opera.

• Be sure to compare the kinds of social changes the satirists wanted in the 18th century to the social changes satirists want today.
• To support your thesis, use at least two specific examples from the 18^th century works as well as from your chosen television show or comedian.
• Essay: In terms of length, your essay should be 500-750 words long. Support your thesis with specific examples taken from the C&V textbook, the assigned readings, and the notes/information posted on Blackboard. Unsupported answers will receive little or no credit, and vague answers will be graded down. To support your answers, you may use your Culture and Values textbook as well as the materials posted in the Module 5 (Chapter 16) under “Content.” DO NOT USE OUTSIDE SOURCES.
