Jean: post class, Habermas

Habermas discusses how when we discuss the modern we are really discussing our inner consciousness and what fits into what we consider the scheme. The post modern we said in class he discusses as a split between the old and the new making us to look for stable. This relates well to the idea of the Media. We turn to the media for stability. If the media shows us something we are transformed to believe that is what we should be doing weather its buying a product or what we should look like. We fall to the reality Media creates. But is that really reality. We become obsessed with watching TV and products we always talk about are normally what we see on television in-between our favorite television shows. We are condition to want and need they things to survive creating a reality of human needs. This relates back to Capitalism creating the need to make profit. And constantly creating new ways of technology in order to make products the fastest to make a profit. Habermas and the idea of the unstable and being easily influenced by new ways and things transfers very well to the role the media plays in our lives today.
