Reality Framed by Media: The Postmodern Shift

In a postmodern society, the absence of a unifying master narrative leads to a profound crisis of identity and meaning. Individuals navigate different realities shaped by the diverse media they consume, resulting in a fragmented understanding of the world. With unlimited access to media, people construct vastly different viewpoints even in close proximity, as their interpretations of reality stem from distinct media-generated narratives. This phenomenon highlights the emergent public discourse, often limited to superficial exchanges, reflecting deeper ideological divides rooted in media influence.
