Hello, would you please answer the following questions for me. Thank you.
1. Do you consider the mass media to be instruments of cultural imperialism? How about the Internet? How so? (cultural imperialism-- the rapid spread or advance of one culture at the expense of others, or its imposition on other cultures, which it modifies, replaces, or destroys--usually because of differential economic or political influence)
2. What's the difference between postmodernity and postmodernism? Have you had postmodern moments? how? (postmodernity--condition of a world in flux, with people on the move, in which established groups, boundaries, identities, contrasts, and standards are reaching out and breaking down. postmodernism-- a style and movement in architecture that succeeded modernism. Compared with modernism, postmodernism is less geometric, less functional, less austere, more playful, and more willing to include elements from diverse times and cultures; postmodern now describes comparable developments in music, literature, visual art, and anthropology.)
