- Post modernism
- Diversity
- Society is so fragmented that we have a diverse range of ways to do things and views about them
- We accept other cultures and integrate them into our identities
- We tend to see things as a number of possibilities
- Risk
- We live in a risk society as social structures have broken down and there is no uniform way of doing things
- No sure foundation to knowledge
- Choice
- People now have many many choices on how to live their lives
- We take a more personal perspective to politics
- There are so many versions of the truth that people cease to believe any of them
- Frag mentation
- Society has broken apart and things mean different things now, variety of meanings
- Society has become so fragmented that meta narratives are useless at explaining it
- Culture is fragmented and unstable because of the media
- We base our identities off material things rather than theses like religion therefore identity is more unstable
- Evaluation
- It ignores power and inequality, E.g the media is dominated by the ruling class
- Identities through consumption ignores the impacts of poverty
- it's a bit contradictory saying metanarratives don't exist then trying to explain society
- People aren't passive, they can distinquish between media and reality
- By assuming that all theories are equally true, you are legitimising immoral practices
- Diversity
