When I first thought of the term Postmodernism, I tried to break the word down to try to understand it more. I know that 'Post' often means after something, and anything to do with modernism deals with art or ideals that are happening in our everyday culture. It really isn't an easy word to define briefly.
The events that happen in today's society that can be portrayed in cartoons, movies, and television shows can actually be considered post modern. When I thought about it, it really stood out to me that the show "Family Guy" was a representation of this. Although to some of it's audience, "Family Guy" may seem like a witty, clever adult cartoon but I wonder if they knew what each episode held other than the sarcastic jokes and remarks. I certainly didn't know that Postmodernism could be presented just about anywhere. In reality shows, the things we post on social media, and even in cartoons. Everything of what we do now can be considered postmodern.
