practical, unsentimental attitude

A way of thinking where you see and accept things as they really are, not as you wish they were.

الگوی کاربرد: [someone]'s realism about [a situation]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners often confuse "realism" with "reality" and "realistic". Use "reality" for what actually exists (e.g., "the reality of the situation"), "realistic" as an adjective (e.g., "a realistic plan"), and "realism" for the attitude or quality of being realistic (e.g., "I like your realism").
هم‌معنی‌ها
practicality (Focuses on doing what is useful; less about attitude and more about action.) | pragmatism (Stresses choosing what works in practice, especially in problem-solving or politics.) | level-headedness (Emphasizes calm, balanced thinking, especially under pressure.)
متضادها
idealism (Focuses on high principles or perfect outcomes, even when they are not realistic.) | wishful thinking (Believing something because you want it to be true, not because the facts support it.)

lifelike quality in art or media

How much a film, game, picture, or story looks or feels like real life.

الگوی کاربرد: the realism of [a film / game / picture]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners may mix this meaning with the art movement "Realism". When you talk about how real something LOOKS or FEELS (a game, movie, scene), you usually mean the general quality of realism, not the historical movement.
هم‌معنی‌ها
authenticity (Suggests truth and genuineness, not just visual lifelike detail.) | lifelikeness (Directly emphasizes looking or sounding like real life; slightly more technical or descriptive.)
متضادها
artificiality (Emphasizes that something feels fake or obviously made, not like real life.) | cartoonishness (Suggests exaggerated, simplified, or comic style that clearly does not aim at realism.)
ترکیب‌های رایج
gritty realism |graphic realism |cinematic realism |increase the realism |heighten the realism |sense of realism

artistic or literary movement

A style in art and writing that shows normal life and people in a simple, true-to-life way, without making them more beautiful or perfect.

الگوی کاربرد: Realism in [painting / literature / nineteenth-century fiction]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes write "realism style" when they mean "the style of Realism" or simply "Realism" with a capital R, especially in titles (e.g., "French Realism"). They may also confuse this with the general idea of looking real; here it refers to a specific artistic or literary approach.
هم‌معنی‌ها
naturalism (A closely related style that often pushes realism further, stressing detailed, sometimes harsh, and socially deterministic views of life.)
متضادها
romanticism (Favors emotion, imagination, and idealization over accurate everyday detail.) | expressionism (Distorts reality to express inner emotions rather than copying external appearances.)
ترکیب‌های رایج
literary realism |novels of realism |social realism |19th-century realism |French realism |in the tradition of Realism
موضوع‌ها
art |literature |history |arts_entertainment |education

power-focused theory in politics

In politics and international relations, a theory that says countries mainly try to protect themselves and get more power, because there is no world government above them.

الگوی کاربرد: realism in [international relations / foreign policy]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners may confuse this technical sense with simply being "realistic" in everyday speech. In academic texts about world politics, "realism" usually refers to a specific theory, not just a practical attitude.
هم‌معنی‌ها
realpolitik (Commonly used in a similar sense for practical, interest-based foreign policy; less strictly theoretical, more about practice.) | power politics (Focuses on the struggle for power; overlaps with realism but is more descriptive and less tied to academic theory.)
متضادها
idealism (In this context, stresses moral values, cooperation, and international law over power and security.) | liberalism (In IR theory, emphasizes institutions, interdependence, and cooperation instead of constant power competition.)
ترکیب‌های رایج
classical realism |neorealism |realism and liberalism |foreign-policy realism |a return to realism |critics of realism
موضوع‌ها
politics |international_relations |education

الگوی کاربرد: realism about [morality / scientific theories / universals]

Learners may think philosophical "realism" is simply the same as being practical or realistic. In philosophy, it is a technical term about whether things exist or are true independently of our minds.
هم‌معنی‌ها
objectivism (In some philosophical contexts, stresses that values or facts are objective; usage varies and may refer to specific schools of thought.)
متضادها
anti-realism (General label for views that deny that certain entities or facts exist independently of our minds or practices.) | idealism (Holds that reality is fundamentally mental or dependent on minds, contrasting with many forms of realism.)
