In his 2004 book, Status Anxiety
, Alain de
Botton
argues that the chief aim
of humorists
is not merely to entertain but “to convey with impunity messages
that might
be dangerous or impossible to state directly.” Because society allows
humorists to say things that other people cannot or will not say, de
Botton sees humorists as serving a vital function in society.Think about the implications of de Botton’s view of the role of humorists (cartoonists, stand-up comics, satirical writers, hosts of television programs, etc.). Then write an essay that defends, challenges, or qualifies de
Botton’s
claim
about the
vital role of humorists. Use specific, appropriate evidence to develop
your position
