imaginary or fictitious. Realism holds the view that
knowledge acquired through senses is true and what we
observe and perceive through our own senses is real and the
true entity of the world. It says that physical world is
objective and factual whereas personal feelings and desires
are subjective and secondary (Dutta, 2020).
