Why is torn written for an audience of 2016?

I believe that torn by Nathaniel Martello-White was written for an audience of 2016 because it discussed issues which are present in today's society, for example one issue is 'broken' family homes looking happy on the outside but having deeper issues within, this theme is still part of society which allows the audience members to relate it to their own families. I believe that this also shows society that everything is not what it seems, everyone is fighting their own battles even if we can't see it. Therefore going against societies beliefs in what a happy family is. 

In addition to that abuse within families being covered still plays a big part on today's society, no one really likes to talk about the issues going on within because they don't want to damage their families reputation (Happy families) they would rather pretend that it never happened so they don't have to face the truth.
