Post-modernism is reaction against the intellectual assumption and values of the modern period. It’s also described at denial of the general philosophical viewpoints that were taken for granted in the 18^th century (enlightenment). Some of these viewpoints are, the logical independent of human beings such as their minds, their cultures and their social practice. Postmodernists terminate the idea as a kind of native realism. Postmodern denials the viewpoint of descriptive and explanatory statements of scientists and historians, they say that there is no such thing as the truth.

 Why can’t teachers use post-modern popular culture television shows like Buffy, The Simpsons, Desperate Housewives.  These shows are not only contemporarily appropriate for variety of cultural and socio-political, but they are also funny and interesting way for people to not experiencing different cultures. People could be more aware of feminism, patriarchy, and sexuality, this is important to learn before being out on your own. You can be more aware to other preferences and for yourself. Schools were not letting students learn about the variety of cultures but later, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer is now studied across many schools especially universities worldwide.  Buffy describes a world where the nation of an old-style superhero that is overthrown. The gender characters are challenged, and the females are the “heroes” that wears the honored symbol of a third-wave feminist. The “power” is place upon a woman which is an important to view as a woman.  Before 1848 men had the power and women were the maids, they would have the power they wouldn’t be the main characters. So, viewing Buffy that focuses on women in power is a life changer.

The film called the Pioneers of television: Funny Ladies, gave a life story of many successful women that made a change to shows. Mary Tyler Moore always wanted to express herself, her life began in a dance studio, her dreams faced a major obstacle in Hollywood. She started out with small acting roles, but it didn’t bring her fame. There was a show called “The Dick Van Dyke Show” Moore thought she couldn’t do it, she felt very sorry for herself until one of her friends talking some sense into her. Right away she got that role. Marla Gibbs you can get laughing while making a point, she started her life as small timer on The Jeffersons, then she became a starring role on television. She became the first African American women to have a creative control over her own sitcom. Carol Bunett was a nobody, until she wrote a song about John Foster Dulles then she became a known person. With comedies you must tell the truth, that’s what comedies are all about. These women opened doors for women everywhere, no matter what they never broke up the purpose. Together they refined the role of women in comedy. The budge for each show was a $1.95, that’s crazy to think about, today its millions for a movie or shows.

For me, watching this film the little clips made me laugh and I wish I was there back in the day to experience watching these shows. women made a change in society which changed the world forever.
