One thing that stayed with me throughout the weekend from the last class is the simple question of, what is real. I guess it’s not that simple because I keep on thinking about it. Is there really a valid answer to the question of what is real? Then you start to think about, if that’s not real, then what is. In our contemporary social we seem to just go with what is told to us. It seems to be the easy was for people to live their lives. If we would just challenge the norm and be a little different then maybe people would not just believe everything that’s out there.
I was in the gym this past weekend and the TV was set to the new channel CNN. I could not hear anything of what the program was saying because I had my iPod on but on the bottom corner on the right of the program there was a sign that said CNN=Money. The whole weekend I was blown away at the fact that the news channel is not only telling non-valid information but they think they are the best at what they do. For me the symbol CNN=Money tells me that our society is just out for the money. Everything people do or say is simply for money rather than the good the people. It almost seems like people these days don’t want anything to do with helping out people unless it for money.
So do you think postmodern is even real? I think that it all depends on the person’s beliefs of what postmodernism is. I believe that the postmodern thing these days is the new hip thing. You can only have your own style for so long and then when someone else sees your styles then they take it and it simply becomes part of the norm. Nothing can stay unique for very long anymore these days.

I like how you think of what we covered in class in a much broader context. Good job at relating the material to something outside the classroom, it's a good habit to form relating everything in class to the world around you.
