The Environment

Did you know that the highest grossing movie in history, featured a natural phenomenon?
The film was "The Titanic" and it's star role was played by, yep that's right "Water"

Water along with the trees, the rocks, the soil, the air, and the raw vegetation are all part of the natural environment. These resources help create the earths atmoshpere, which further goes to create our climate.

A lot of trees provide raw materials for everyday life, for example wood is cut down for furniture, and yet another tree can be used to produce fruit to sustain life.

Would life be any different if there where no electrical charges beneath the earth? Or an ozone layer which helps to protect human life? Once we focus on these natural resources we can recognise that man has little or nothing to do with the existance of the natural enviroment.

After many years of study, scientists from around the world realised that chemicals we had been using released gases into our atmosphere and began to cause a whole in our ozone layer.
This lead to many of us around the world to make a concious effort to reduce co2 and other harmful chemicals that will ultimately destroy our ozone layer.

Imagine life without the simple pleasure/luxury of air? Is air a natural phenomenon? Why does the thunder crack? And why does everybody love the sunshine?

Postmodernism

One would take it that "post" represents the "after of" And modern to be what we would say is of "the now" or up to date. But is that what postmodernism is? Is the end of an era the point in which we meet postmodern? Is modernism imposed upon us? Constantly thrusting us away from our origins and natural way of being? So how modern are we? Are we modern because we have internet access and can download unlimited mp3s and watch movies for free? Or are we postmodern by doing those very same things?

Whilst researching this wonderful gut-wrenching topic, I found a great video giving a basic idea of processing to the concept of postmodernism:



This theory can be brought into many forms such as Art, Film & Television, Religion & Politics even through well made marketing schemes. No thing is really what it is. What it is, is what we term it to be at the time ,so that you and I can establish a relationship, towards building something else that we have learnt from a modern world, in which we now live. Postmodernism will always eat itself in the way of contradition. It will constantly challenge the absolute and consistantly push the boundaries on fact.
