Baudrillard Simulacra Theory

Baudrillard's Simulacra Theory suggests that in modern society, representations such as media, advertising, and popular culture have replaced genuine reality. These images and symbols no longer reflect something real but instead create a "hyperreality" — a blurred line where simulations become more real than reality itself. As a result, our perception is shaped more by these constructed images than by actual experiences, leading us into a world of illusions where distinctions between truth and fiction are increasingly indistinguishable.
