Research Topic Proposal

My topic is on fantasy as a way of escapism. The term fantasy is often referred to in psychology as a "mental apprehension of an object of perception, the faculty by which this is performed." This is often performed as a way of escapism. People often do this because it allows them to "escape" stressful situations by focusing on happier and exciting moments or things. In some ways it can be harmful to people when they escape themselves so much to the point where they reject reality completely and they don't approach and solve their problems in a realistic and practical way. However on the other hand, escapism into fantasy can be helpful to a person and even healthy, because it can help people relax and shake off stress and anxieties for a little while. It also can promote creativity, imagination and problem solving.

I believe fantasy through escapism is important because it can allow people to escape their problems for little bit and it allows creativity and imagination to grow. I also think imagination is important for people to make it through the difficulties of life and it can make life more interesting and exciting. It can lead to new possibilities and opportunities and if people work hard at it, they can make their fantasies part of reality.
