- Reader-response criticism - In literary criticism reader-response criticism focuses on the reader or audience, and modern concepts like Bertolt Brecht's alienation-effect or the Russian Formalists' "defamiliarization" or "cultural criticism" all predicate things about the experience of literature. One could argue that literary theory always involves a model of the literary experience, even if critics and theorists do not spell it out (as with New criticism and postmodern criticism).
- International response to the Holocaust - In the decades since the Holocaust, some national governments, international bodies, and world leaders have been criticized for their failure to take appropriate action to save the millions of European Jews, Roma, homosexuals and other victims of the Holocaust. Critics say that such intervention, particularly by the Allied governments, might have saved substantial numbers of people and could have been accomplished without the diversion of significant resources from the war effort.
