post modern ethos . . challenge to the west
intro:Comprising of almost 150 words
My intro revolved around deconstruction of the given statement.
i tried to convey the basic concept of post-modernism as an intellectual movement which arose in the west in reaction to the mechanical and materialistic framework of modernism;more over,i defined ethos in the light of Aristotle's '' Poetics".
It was followed by an opening paragraph regarding post-modern ethics.
body text:1800 words approx.
what happened? how? why? and now . .
taking a start from the renaissance finally i peeped through the modernism and the dark 60's came to challenge all the intellectual and industrial progress of the west.
Jacques Derrida and Roland Barthes to emerge from the ashes of modernism
meaninglessness and absurdity as the leading post-modern ethic.
the weakening of social,psychological and administrative structures.
satire and parody: anger and frustration
an urge for creativity and construction is no more
the malign towards materialistic prosperity
pessimism rules and the darkness prevails etc
impacts on the west are chaos,meaninglessness,losing the directions,the institutions at stake,the progressive cycle of renaissance to be over,frustration on the rise,the glorious history has been challenged.
west seeks for pluralistic values,global world,global market and finally the cultural hegemony;post-modern ethos serve as an internal problem.
even impacts lead to clashes with other nation because satire at its peak is blasphemy which alerts the religious societies. post-modern blasphemies to be taken as the western propaganda.
discourse analysis led to the conclusion ( 100 words approx)
