The End of Reality (as we know it)

Sarah Best

7th November 2018

The following video from Wisecrack explores how we consume reality.

The video uses American wresting as well as links to popular culture (Kanye West vs Taylor Swift and even Donald Trump) to highlight how the media has influenced our view of world, and in particular what we know is real versus what we choose to see as real.

This video could be useful for the Theory and Methods unit, and with reference to postmodernity and late-modernity.
