Graphic novels are like mirrors that show what our society is all about. But sometimes, this reflection can be hard to see because of different challenges.

1. Censorship: Many graphic novels get censored, which means some ideas and stories can’t be shared. This can leave out important voices, especially from groups that don’t often get heard.

2. Money Concerns: The graphic novel industry often focuses on what will make the most money. Publishers might choose stories that are popular instead of those that truly represent important social issues. This can water down the message of the stories.

3. Changing Styles: As graphic novels change, so do the words and styles used in them. This can make it hard for some readers, especially younger ones, to understand older stories. If they can’t connect with these stories, the overall message about society can be lost.

4. Different Audiences: With the internet, audiences have become more split. This makes it tough for graphic novels to appeal to everyone. When people interpret stories differently, the reflection of our society becomes less clear.

To fix these problems, we need to work together:

• Publishing Diverse Voices: We should make sure to include stories from a variety of people.
• Teaching and Learning: Schools can help by teaching students how to look closely at graphic novels and understand their history.
• Community Discussions: We can create spaces where people talk about how different times and values affect the stories we see.

By taking these steps, graphic novels can truly show what society is like.
