- Industrialisation- disconnected from God and everyone else
- 1922: Machines for living in

POST MODERNISM
A rejection of modernism to make sure that everyone saw everything and everyone else as being equal in all areas and that nothing was better or more special than anything else.
GRAND NARRATIVES
Jean-François Lyotard
Favours the 'micro-narratives' that can go in any direction that reflect diversity that are unpredictable.
THE END OF GRAND NARRATIVES
The cause of the end of grand narratives include...
- Morality is personal
- Relative truth (is not fixed)
- Decline of traditional religion
- Political cynicism
- Science and technology is fallible
- Authority is untrustworthy
- Marxism and capitalism is flawed
