modernity to postmodernity is to look at "creative destruction." In the book, "The Condition of Postmodernity," it says on page 16, "The image of "creative destruction" is very important to understanding modernity precisely because it derived from the practical dilemmas that faced the implementation of the modernist project." This basically says that in order to create something, everything that came before it must be destroyed. In relation to postmodernity, when the modern times pass and the post-modern era is set to begin, all of the ideas and thoughts from the modern times will no longer exist.The same thing holds true for a society. If a new society is going to thrive, it will have to discard the things that came before it. The new society must create new ideas, beliefs, and values in order to prosper. As time goes on, the society will have to modify its ideas and values to keep up with the world's changes. One day though, the post-modern era that was created will also be destroyed. One thing that will never stay the same is our "horizons of expectations." As times change, so do our goals and the limits to which we will reach for them. I think that in this day and age our technology will only get better and better, so our goals will be set higher and higher. I also think that there will come a time when we can't get anymore higher and our goals and limits will become lower and lower. The important thing is that we welcome the changes and that we react well to them.In the article, "Modernity: An Introduction to Modern Societies," it says on page 17, "Essential to the idea of modernity is the belief that everything is destined to be speeded up, dissolved, displaced, transformed, reshaped." Change is destined to occur in anything, especially in the ideas of modernity, postmodernity, and globalization. Sometimes when things are going slow and a change is in need, catalysts are put into the picture to speed things up. Whe...
