According to E.M. Forster, a sound state of mind is the prerequisite for building a new world. He believes that architects, contractors, marketing boards, etc., will never be able to build a new world by themselves. They must be inspired by the proper spirit. The people for whom they are working must also have the proper spirit. Unless the people are worried about it, a new world cannot be constructed. The proper spirit cannot be love although most people will say so. Forster explains that love is a great force in private life but it does not work in public affairs. It has been tried again and again. It has always failed. It has failed because we can only love what we know personally. And we cannot know much. He says that tolerance is the quality most needed for building a new world after the war. This is the sound state of mind which will enable different races and classes who may not love each other to settle down to the work of reconstruction. Hmmm I'd say that tolerance is a br...

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9Ihs241zeg thing is culturally authentic literature can't seem to enter the attention of consumers unless they've made it into powerhouse publishing aka Western broadcasters who already have a stereotype in mind and won't take anything beyond that  So does this mean it's not just a matter of what's shown to us but also our responsibility to dig beneath the radar and actively seek other perspectives? HM The thing is, when does it become oUr responsibility?  And cAn it ever become A responsibility at all? For me it's like jumping out of the frying pan just to realize that your world is literally hellfire uhh Then again we don't want to be a shallow generation that consumes what we are shown right away ye Ignorance is bliss but it stings

 After the war, Introduction The first world war threw society into a state of disillusionment, and a fracturing of the staunch belief in morals became prominent, sparking literary advancements that challenged romantic ideals, advocating for a new perception of stability and sensibilities. In the poem Gerontion by T.S. Elliot, the modernist stance of fragmentation and the pursuit of purpose lies in man’s actualization of himself. Meanwhile, Samuel Beckett’s waiting for Godot written in the post-war environment of World War II can be viewed as an attack on modernism, rejecting its ideological claims to legitimise purposeful meaning that interprets the world of Estragon and Vladimir with a Grand Existential Narrative . Nonetheless, both these arguments provide a post-war lens that views life without inherent importance nor singular purpose/essence, resulting in the rise of ‘absurdism’— a search for answers in a world that offers no true answer . In this essay, the aforementioned conc...

 should the written text, largely implemented by the west, oust the other types of communicative languages out of their places? Are the visual arts (manga, comics, animations) and auditory arts (music, storytelling, sagas) inherently inferior to the written world? Is it right to have a demeaning view on Comic readers? Is the visual and auditory just as important as the written text? Critiquing people who read manga. an input of Elitism from the west! But is there a reason for such prejudicial thought besides the source factor of the colonialist mindset?
