- How we think of humanity
- Reality and 'the real'
- How we think of culture
- Perfect world/human
- Normality?
- Placing things in a box, categorising

- Do we live in a postmodern world? Life 10 years ago will seem shocking to us because today is so different
- There has been a major social change in the last 10-20 years
- Subcultures
- The idea of one uniform society has raised problems. Now culture is seen as little cults joined into one culture rather than a universal whole group
- We used to invade other territories to unify our beliefs and religions as we thought we were doing a justice
- New world order
- Postmodern, difference in people. No single set of rules for one unified society
- Indifferences
- You are different with one group of people to another
- Fluidity and flexibility
- People are expected to move with developing culture

Modernism was driven by the thought of progress to one unified society. Technology and fashion unifies us
- Modernist society aimed to improve culture. To improve what humans were
- However this brought up problems with rights to individuality and diversity
- Function above all
- Universalism, global village
- Modernist progress towards new technology
- Constructed future through technology
- What is the natural way of being? Unified or diverse?
