  • Unified Post Modern Social Theory
    2,483 words
    In trying to define exactly what post-modernism is I shall firstly briefly consider some of the events and thinking that led up to the development of this particular school of social theory.

I shall then consider the view of David Harvey, a Marxist many consider to be writing in the postmodern tradition, who argues that post-modernism i...
  • One Hallmark Of The Modern Age
    3,822 words
    Western liberal scholars have divided human history into three phases: the premodern, the modern and the post modern. Each phase has no definite end, rather they layer on top of each. For example, a thoroughly post modern society has elements of premodern and modern in it. There is no one exact time when the premodern ended and the modern began: each society reached them differently. Western Europe entered the modern era in the sixteen hundreds while the rest of the world was still premodern. Ev...

    699 words
    The X-Files The X-Files is generally acclaimed as the television cult hit of the 1990's. The pilot that aired in September of 1993 introduced FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. Together the two work to uncover the truth behind unsolved cases that defy normal investigation, the cases that the government has buried or ignored, labeling them the "x-files". The two agents are wonderful examples of modernism and post-modernism world views. First in order to understand the reasons Scully and Mulde...
  • Look At The 1982 Movie Blade Runner
    1,165 words
    For this assignment, I decided to take a look at the 1982 movie 'Blade Runner'. Blade Runner is set in Los Angeles, November 2019, and tells a story in which artificially simulated humans, or 'replicants', not only threaten the morality of human personal identity, but also the very essence of what is 'real'. Deckard is a Blade Runner, a policeman of the future who hunts down and terminates replicants. He wants to get out of the force, but is drawn back in when five "skin jobs", a slang term for ...
  • Wide Phenomenon Of Post Modernity
    504 words
    Introduction "What is Post-Modernism?" There seems to be this wide phenomenon of post-modernity spreading throughout organisations and as much as it maybe accepted or rejected by managers, it cannot, to a certain extent be ignored. Post-modernism is hard to define, because it is a concept that appears in a wide variety of disciplines or areas of study, including art, architecture, music, film, literature, sociology, communications, fashion and technology. It's hard to locate it temporally or his...

Post-modernism is especially important to breaking down stereotypes such as those that exist surrounding the black family. To understand post-modernism we mu...
  • Words Almost Browne Almost Modernism

    "Words Almost Browne Almost Modernism "Words are crossbloods too, almost whole right down to the cold printed page burned on the sides. ' – Almost Browne Post modernism has been described as dealing with the fact that the meanings of words change over time. Modernism deals with thoughts, and words inside the mind, but post-modernism goes further and takes away the meanings of words altogether– the story comes more so from the mind than other styles of literature. Thus is the case in ...
