have to write a about postmodernism can you help me?

Fo schnizzel

I don't know where to begin though?

Begin with nothing, since that is where you are destined to end.

I think postmodernism is a term invented to confuse us, and prevent us from understanding things, like the truth!

What truth? What is truth?

Postmodernism is not hiding the truth it’s slapping you in the face with it; and so you reject it. The truth hurts. Postmodernism is just the messanger, the fiber optic digitally transfered photons illuminating plasma screen causing you to blink and think.

Pop!

If black and white TV is modernism, than postmodernism is DSL internet on a plasma screen. It's not just a way of looking at things that are abnormal and trying to reconcile them with the mainstream, it's the growing realization that the once 'normal' way of doing things is failing, crumbling, and possibly leading us towards global choas (Ahhhh!!!!! Global Warming)... or total spiritual/virtual unity as a planet (that’s hot).

Postmodernism is both an off-shot and a blowback of modernism. Modernism was about mechanics, science, reason, rationality, hierarchy and Order –purpose, place, and patron.

Postmodernism is thus about 'play' ‘placeless’ and disorder, --or ordered chaos. Its the coming together of all races religions and ideas having the differences all blending the meanings all changing and the play all the more enlightening than the purpose.

>>>>if accepted they change the way 'society' perceives itself and it becomes normal...<<<

Case in point: Hot Topic "Anarchy" shirts.

Anarchy and going to the mall to buy clothes is like smoking cigarettes while doing yoga.

You are not in either mode and committed to neither, you just are.

>>>it is part of the evolutionary process- about progress and change- I am not saying this is either good or bad-<<<

Good cuz it is both good and bad. Postmodernism is the break from modernism, without the next 'ism' to move into. In fact most people are so sick of 'ism's they would rather not have them. They want to move past them.

And thus was born: Post [after] modernism.

***************Modernism comes from the greek 'modo' meaning 'the now'. At the time it was built the Acropolis was modern.**************************

The fact is was are headed into uncharted waters. Technology is gaining speed, the world is shrinking, and growing in complexity, time and space no longer matter and eventually they can be manipulated...

it's crazy.

By 2020 desktop computers will be FASTER than the combined power of many brains.

That's right... enter: The Robots (A.I.? Shhhh!)

But where did it all begin?

______ say it with me _______


The movies!!!

Modernism gave us the camera, and when the pictures began to move... postmodernism was born.

Movies now quote other movies and it is EXCEPTIONALLY rare to see and original movie.
