As the age of postmodernism dawned, the stigma and nature of literature changed and the idea of the ‘death of the author’ was born. Instead of reaching obvious conclusions in their stories, authors began to leave gaps and ironies in their work, allowing readers to form their own opinions. But, while some people are not satisfied with the idea of these ‘open systems,’ perhaps the most significant pieces of work were born during this era of postmodernism. For example, Thomas Pynchon’s short story…

The chapter of this book was pretty interesting and the reason being is because it hit on the church being more relevant to today’s culture or how the book describes it as, postmodernism. The point that really made me think and almost question the thought behind it was the quote, “The church must learn to capture the imagination of a world that is passing it by” (Garner 4). This was honestly phrased in such a way that could make its audience slightly uncomfortable. The word that should be added…

From my college art class I remember postmodernism dealt with art and it was a new style that separated itself from modernism. This was pretty much all I knew before reading this chapter. Instead of relating it to art Cyzewski, the author, says it is the lens that we see God through. This philosophy defines on how we interrupt the Bible, how we think and make decisions as well as how we determine the truth. This requires us as Christians to have an awareness of our world not to be blind to how…

Throughout Chapter 16, various ideologies are highlighted upon through the writings of progressive feminists interested in debunking the superior method of acquiring knowledge and utilizing it to the best of our abilities.

For this reason, the origins of several feminist themes lie in the “ethics…

After strict moral standards established many years ago appeared to have failed, and science had proven that it could not prove the origin of the universe, a new philosophical and artistic expression moved in to fill the void of the Modernist Movement. The Postmodern Movement was born out of a lack of faith in society and the established way of life as a whole, and embraced the philosophy of meaninglessness and a rejection of the transcendental meta-narrative. This move has been fully expressed…

There are many disability models but the most important two are the ‘medical’ model and the social’ model. In medicinal model of disability look at inability as an "issue" that fits in with the disabled person. It’s less likely affect anybody except the individual influenced. For instance, student on a wheel chair is not able to get into a building in view of a few steps; the medical model would recommend that this is a direct result of the wheelchair, as opposed to the strides (Ong-Dean, 2005).…

tells a story in a way that changes the meaning of storytelling. It wants to also make aware of how other movies are encoded with meaning that "controls" thinking about what is normal and proper. Wall-E, a major Pixar movie, is a great example of postmodernism. Wall-E is a critique of modernity, and the fate of man under consumerist technology. Set in the distant dystopian future, this film tells the story of a grubby little robot left behind to help clean up Earth. Humanity, having trashed…
