Questions of reality and being human rise with power at the end os the century. What dies it mean to be a human? How do human beings fit into the vast cosmos?Where to from here? This are some questions that the end of modernism.
To answer this questions we need to look what came before, in the age of modernism.
In the religously way thre was a new religion calles Judeo-Christian, that replaced the traditional beliefs in god.
Also science had developed, as the creation of stem engine, the harnessing of electricity, and darwins evolutionary theory, this changed the social conscieusness of man, with racional foundations.
The postmodernism, is characteristic for diferent reasons,
-The quest for truth is lost cause
-A person's sense od identity is composite
-The languages of our culture
-Realityos created by those who have power
-We should neutralizethe political power inherent in language
Some examples are:
-A different way of looking at life, for example we live with air, before we didn't know what air was, but now we want to know what air is.
-We don't only look at our selfs now but we look at other people, a more worldwide view
Personal Identity
-Sense of uncertainty about how to understand onseself
Education and academincs
We donde really know anything we rather interpret everythin.
Popular Media
-Media, presents a fictional reality, and a reality.
In conclusion, postmodernism influences our lives, as a individual and social level
