Since the company is making an advertisement for a black toothpaste, they use a black man as a nice person who gets put down despite his nice intentions. The advert shows how ...

1. In “The Postmodern Condition” Jean Francois Lyotard defines post-modernity as “Incredulity towards metanarratives”. In outlining Lyotard's position as elaborated in this essay, it is evident that his work focuses primarily on the possibility of achieving what he calls a “unity of experience”. In order to understand his conception of this idea it is necessary to first assess his view of society in relation to the modern world. Postmodern culture demonstrates “a radical break, both with a dominant culture and aesthetic, and with a rather different moment of socioeconomic organization” (Lyotard, 1990, p. vii). This demonstrates a fundamental shift ...
