The show 'The Game' vs. the show 'The Cosby's'

In today's class, we talked a lot about Modernist vs. Post-Modernist. Modernist was explained as being a uniform reality, all women are oppressed, nature and nurture develop identities, and seek change. My definition on Modernist is modern thought, character, or practice in this present time and era. Post-Modernist was explained as many realities to each of us, oppression depends on context, socialization is the source of identities, and it seeks understanding. The term Post-Modernist is a movement away from the viewpoint of modernism or finding the understanding of new characteristics. In the show The Game, it gives the viewers or watchers a televised way of what new changes has come about in this modern time; especially in the world we're living in today. It shows the cost of how to live, the brand new cars, the up-to-date houses, the different fads of dressing, the hairstyles, how technology is used on a daily, how individuals deal with there problems, situations, and issues with a career, co-workers, relatives, friends, or lover, and the way relationships are being handled now days; in many different, hurtful ways. Now, on the family original The Cosby Show, it gave us (the viewer or watcher) a proven example of how post-modernist was used. It showed you how relationships with family, friends, lovers, co-workers, associates, and strangers were actually taken into consideration. The types of clothing that was being worn; there may have been a certain style of dressing, but that wasn't a big deal. It was all about where was your mind at, meaning, the knowledge you carried. The types of technology they had were the rotary phones, the big floor model television sets, and the old record player. I see now how modernized we are as people today, for the simple fact, that we have to keep up with time or it will pass you by.
