FAQ About The Role of Global Horror Stories in Cultural Exchange
How do horror stories address social issues in different cultures?
Horror stories often use their storytelling framework to highlight and critique social issues within different cultures. For instance, South Korean horror films like 'Train to Busan' address themes of social class disparity and governmental inadequacy. Similarly, Jordan Peele's 'Get Out' uses horror to explore racial tensions and systemic racism in America. By embodying social anxieties into narrative elements, horror allows for a reflection on pressing societal concerns, prompting discussions and raising awareness across cultural and national boundaries.
