From the Paper:
"In his book, Reality Isn't What It Used to Be, Walter Truett Anderson points out that our world has undergone a significant change. "In recent decades we have passed, like Alice slipping through the looking glass, into a new world," he says. This new world is the postmodern world. Anderson is not alone in his observation. Many have written books and articles in recent decades describing the phenomenon of postmodernism. What, though, is postmodernism and what are its characteristics? The purpose of this article is to examine postmodernism. In particular, it will attempt to identify the major characteristics of postmodernism and address the question, "What is 'post' about postmodernism?"Cite this Research Paper:
