The real world is one we create based our experience or the experiences of others we want to emulate.

The irony of calling something the real world is it’s something intangible we cannot touch just yet, but will someday. It’s also used as a slight against another who may be struggling.

Yet, when it comes to finding out what the real world is through a universal definition, we cannot.

The real world in North America is different than that of Europe and vastly different from children in Syria right now.

Before thinking you have an understanding of what the real world is, consider instead you are talking about the world you currently live in. Once you can make that distinction, you can go about changing the real world for others.
