“Post-modern thought constitutes a society with no “class restraints”. I think that although this unshackling from class restraints may seem invigorating it is not altogether advantageous because social classes help formulate political institutions which represent our ideas as representative governments. The article (Schooling the future, Richard Bates, date unspecified) asked the same question I’ve tackled: Under the post-modern notion, is a “meaningful rational decision making process possible?” I would answer that in an ideological sense-no, but surely we can overcome this way of thinking, or have my generation immersed ourselves in post-modern culture that it is too late? Certainly, it is the culture that we are born into and it is ever expanding and changing progressively at a rapid pace. It has seeped into out inherent mental programming and these values and thought processes are hard to unlearn. Generating from my own personal experience is the typical scenario for me at home when my youngest brother sits in front of the TV for hours justifying “it’s TV education”…This emphasis on technology is to illustrate its role in the socialisation process. Post-modern culture has not only affected our way of thinking but it has reached our fingertips.”
