Emergent Literature: Issue and Challenges in New-age

Literature is perceptive to the world around us. Poetry, plays and fiction don't only reflect reality
but are instrumental in shaping our understanding of historical events, places and people. In evolution, the
arrival of new social movements, rapid change or crisis, ultramodern technologies – Literature articulates
and understand their impact. Writing across genres and in very form, of media engages with what is
happening outside and creates new forms of understanding; Literature itself is transformative and
changing with the many issues and challenges it facing today.

The globalizing of the world at an accelerated pace has paved the way for literature to face many
turbulences. It has made it difficult for today's generation or the media-savvy to acquire a liking of classic
literary works, given the power and influence of movies, internet and other modern circumstances. Today,
you can now blog, podcast, vlog for free. You can write or publish your works through e-books at scrap
cost of a book that printed, and plagiarizing and illegal scanning of books are rampant today. You can say
that this made literature accessible and affordable, yes; however, everyone can be a writer now, and
writing has not been formidable anymore. They're also a challenge in the literature that impairs children
language, that is not only because polyglot but also caused by technology were chatting through the
internet or frequently messaging over mobile phones. However, many have claimed our communication
and language skills have enhanced with the arrival of the internet, as we chat more, we also write more
where we express more. In emerging literature, the author faced many challenges like the aforementioned
common challenges for every literature. However, its main challenge is how to established the literature
just like flash fiction where my graduate sister just heard of now and only me and classmates who study
this course now.

The change in literature and its way is relentless, inexorable ensuing the global trends. Literature
authors and readers need to recognize the meaning of contemporary literature issues, challenges, and its
genuine literature response symbolism to modern challenges. As a change, we should too, as literature
should enjoy it in various, new, exciting ways.
