Whose Reality? - Prompts

[g1mp1e]

Hey guys,

I have the following prompts for Whose Reality, and I was wondering if you guys could give me some key ideas that  I could write about:

1. Our reality is often determined by outside influences, rather than by our own personal beliefs or values.

2. In the modern world, it has become increasingly difficult to trust the concept of reality.

3. People would prefer to believe an attractive lie than a difficult truth.

4. There is no such thing as a fixed reality.

Also, if it helps, the text that we have to relate these ideas to is Wag the Dog.

Any help would be appreciated for any of these prompts!

Thanks!

I'm not studying your text, but have some ideas you could maybe think about...

1. Our reality is often determined by outside influences, rather than by our own personal beliefs or values.

• We may spend too much time observing others instead of getting to know ourselves
• We cannot trust ourselves due to maybe a fault in our memories, so we listen to others
• These other realities are only a mixed set of 'puzzle pieces', we need something true to base our reality off

2. In the modern world, it has become increasingly difficult to trust the concept of reality.

• This is because their are too many realities created that differ
• Information can never be verified until we personally perceive it
• It may be 'difficult', but never the less still possible if we.....

3. People would prefer to believe an attractive lie than a difficult truth.

• Why do we want to believe an attractive lie? What scenarios will this hold true for?
• The mentally tough can deal with reality, the weak will perceive a lie as true
• Believing in a lie will always lead to negative consequences
