To be honest in which I understand the most, it has to be none of them, however there are some parts of the Modern and some parts of the Postmodern section which I completely understand and agree with.In the table above are all the topics I understand and know the different between. With modern, it’s understood to be about the past which can be easily recognise, on the other hand, Postmodern is relatable to all current topics now and previously happened in past events few years ago. In link with media and art, it’s shown that with Modernism, realism and the original look of a certain thing was agreed and the people had ‘faith’ in it.
