Here we go. The traits of the Modern are to break things into the simplest steps/forms. However, Postmodernity embraces complexity. Look at the following examples:
Who is the star of this show? Gilligan right? And in every show the plot was exactly the same, 1. They came up with a plan to get off the island, 2. The characters turned to the scientist (reason alone) to get off the island, 3. Gilligan fouled it up. BTW, the only time an ethnic person would show up was when the Aborigines showed up in an episode or two.
Very simple.
Who is the star of this show? There are so many story lines going on it’s impossible to break it merely into the simplistic pieces of Gilligan’s Island. Some characters don’t even show up in some episodes. Not only that, but some have tried to get off the island, and others don’t even want to. Characters float in and out of alliances with other characters. And Lost is one of the hottest shows on TV. Postmoderns have embraced complexity.
A little more insight.
