interesting theory. It gives people one more reason to be unsympathetic and hateful toward one another...which is good for people like me who can always use one more excuse to hate people I don't know. ;) joking ( ... )

ahaaaaa i think i shouldve been more specific on the types of arguments? i meant other arguable ideas that SUPPORT postmodernism! ehehhehe

see, the thing is, we broke ourselves down in groups of what perspectives we chose and so the conflicts and the symbolic interactionists and functionalists etc etc all together to argue and explain their theories--in which i chose postmodern and so here we are.

but thanks! i agree with your argument, but i really need to agree with mine sort of thing... hypocrisy? haha i don't know, maybe more like belief in something more neutral.

I think information is the catalyst for change. And when we change, we learn. I think the more information out there, the higher the bar is raised in a modern society. Once most people know about it, it becomes part of the social consciousness. Depending on the sociey, different levels of commutative responses work out ( ... )

So yes, I guess you could say that the accessiblity of information does create a lack of individuality. BUT, that lack of it, will eventually spurt out and sprawl, and create new things (out of boredom, to put it bluntly). Also, because we know more now (that idea of technology) than we did before, and we experience new things, we start to essentially feel in new ways and elaborate on many different opinions and attitudes that preceeded before us.
We're always raising the bar when we know more information. And the easier the information is accesed and retained, and faster we can develop a more precise (and/or more complicated) sense of individuality and identity, as a single human being and as a whole.

******* theoretically.
