Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 204 class. The purpose of this site is two-fold: 1) to continue the conversations we start in class (or to start conversations before we get to class) and 2) to practice our writing/reading on a weekly basis in an informal forum.

Postmodernism

What is postmodernism? after, modernism, but what else? Examples of postmodernism in your world/culture.

postmodernism to me is some what of a free way of thinking. In the past so many people were controlled. There was always a leader that the people had to obey, everyone had to follow someone. know one were able to think  them selves. Postmodernism allowed people to think in my opinion. people were unable to express many ideas that was once never challenged. today postmodernism is def expressed by using social media and the Internet. people have so much more information available to them. you can research many ideas and choose to do what u want with it. social media has allowed people to express their opinions on different issues openly. the news is there to inform us, however they are controlled. we have a right to freedom of speech but that is sometimes controlled. with the Internet and social media its very hard for someone to shh you. billions of people all around the world are able to express themselves with "send". another example for pm in this day and age is the way people are raising their children. parents are bringing up more leaders rather than followers. my mother raised me to believe there is a heaven and hell. if your good you'll go to heaven and if your bad your going to burn in hell. really scary. but as an adult i see that as control. my pm allows me to express to my family facts, things that can be proven. without me being harmed.
