Post - Modernism

Definition : - Post - modernism rejects the idea that any media product or text is of any greater value than another. All judgements of value are merely taste. Post - modernism is also said to reflect modern society's feelings of alienation (to ignore it), insecurity and uncertainties concerning identity, history, progress and truth, and the break up of traditions like religion, family, or perhaps to a lesser extent, class, which helped identify and shape who we are and our place in the world. For example, artists like Madonna, Michael Jackson and David Bowie are all cited as examples of post - modernism in the ways in which they have created or re - created different identities for themselves.
