Post-Modernism

Modernism is about the belief in science, rationality, and optimism; however, post-modernism is about becoming a global society, declining in the belief of God as a force of good and becoming interested in peoples’ personal concerns.

Post-modern ideas are how society becomes more aware of pop cultures and the media, and they influence our lives than ever before. The reality is that the media shaped and determined the way we live. Our individual identity, reality, and purpose for life are referential from the media. More and more people take interest in others’ personal life such as those popular reality shows “Jersey Shore” and “The Kardashian” is a dramatic and humorous aim for generation-x crowd and not so much for older viewers. Therefore, the media create the mindset of post-modernist in ways that shape our lives to what we see in television, music, and advertisements.
