Tapas Sarkar; Essay:  The creation of an artist is either based on imagination or reality or can be mixed with fantasy and reality. The image of imagination and the concrete knowledge of reality is directly reflected oh human psychology. And all these procedures and environments happen in/within a society. Therefore, what human psychology represents is simply the simulation of the social exhibition. So, it can be said that the creation of art, by artists, is a simulation of society. The human with their sense, sentient, and conscience are the medium of this socio-psychological system of simulation.

What can be art to someone can be destructive sense to others, or some others' perceptions of life can be the true presentation of art.       Now, why the artists a...

Here the little prince can be the aviator himself and the aviator can be interpreted as the re...

  Essay;  Tapas Sarkar; Expression of feelings is indispensably significant to communicate meanings, senesces, and sensibilities in the society. Can we imagine a society without language or any kind of communication? No, we cannot. Communication is the basis of social construction. We can say, if there had not been the system of communication, there would not be harmony or the concept of living societal life.
