Post-Modernism
We live in times of questions without answers and uncertain trues. All true that is taught to us may not be a fact or true, and if is it; how can we prove it? All this appears mostly in reality right now; in post-modern times. This term is very used today, the term "post-modernism", but do we really know its meaning and its characteristics? Television, newspapers and magazines tells us different truths, but which one of them is the right one ? The different point of view taken by different types of media makes us doubt about the reality; is CNN or FOXnews right? is more appropiate to buy "La Cuarta" or "El Mercurio"? which is right, Science or Religion? All of these are questions that back in the past (Victorian Times and before) where not asked, they were not doubts; the only reality was up to royalty, the queen was always right, it doesn't mattered if she said that killing was a funny sport; people would have considered it their reality. This is the fact that makes difference and makes this epoch the most particular above all the others: doubting about all the reality presented to us.
