The idea of Post-Modernism is completely contradictory to Modernism. The idea which sprouted from modernism is that we must search tod find the "true" answers in life. In order to find these truths one must use science and technology in order to disprove past ideas. By doing these, it was believed that we would find the answers to the universe and create a perfect society or utopia of sort.
The ideas of modernism are much different. Post modernism realizes that there may be no one true answer to the puzzle. All cultures have their own ideas that were formed in order to explain phenomenons within their world. Because we all societys have their own ideas on how things work within their lifes, it is accepted that no one truth will be "correct" for everyone.
The idea of how Post Modernism ties into what we discussed during our Socratic Circle. At the end of several chapters, Newt ends the chapter by saying "See the cat? See the cradle?" This statement in itself is a perfect example of Post Modernism. It exemplifies Post Modernisms themes just by the ambiguity of the statement. My own interpretation is that Newt is trying to point out that fact that we all see things differently and we interpret different ideas in different ways. All societys an people do not have the same or even similiar ideals, but that does not neccesarily mean that any of them are correct or incorrect.
