Question

How does literature shape or reflect a society?

Answer 1

Literature does both things; it shapes and also reflects the society we live in

Authors have different forms of writing. They could introduce you to a new idea, persuade you to their point of view (bias) and also influence people to do something new. Words are powerful, and can be used in many ways. For example if i introduce you to a new idea (like cats have 5 toes in the frontal paws and 4 toes in the back paws) you would share it with a friend. Now lets take it to a whole new level. There is a book called "fifty shades of gray" it has influenced the way of thinking of many women and men. Literature can shape the way we think. It can persuade us to believe things; we are eager to share what we find interesting. 

literature reflects our society. Throughout the years we had styles of writing that reflected the time period we were living in. In other words, when we lived through a crisis, a genre of writing was born. romanticism, Goth-ism, realism, naturalism, modernism, etc

Answer 2

Literature helps to shape up the society by telling about the historical aspects and events of the world and what we should learn from it.  

Further Explanation:

Literature in today’s scenario has an influence on society because in some way or the other it teaches us a lesson and gives a learning experience.  Modern-day morals aren’t found in modern-day literature. It must all be from our history. A literature class is just as same as like a History class. You are tested on all of the knowledge you have on the time period studied.

History is important because as people try to change it, we can stand firm in our knowledge of it, and not believe the bogus they try to dump on us. Literature uses the peruses of all kinds of emotions and values which are written by the writer but it presents the views of the writer in an artistic way. It is the bringing back of knowledge and the arts to our classrooms. Which is something we all need?
