(4) Decentered self
Codes :
Answer: C
The characteristics of post-modern societies are (1), (3) and (4): situational, consumerism and the decentred self.
Postmodern thought rejects universal truths and grand narratives, so knowledge and values are treated as situational and context-bound. Postmodern societies are organised around consumption and the play of signs and images rather than production. And the self is seen as decentred: fragmented, fluid and constructed, rather than a stable, rational subject.
Logical positivism, the doctrine that only empirically verifiable statements are meaningful, belongs to the modernist faith in science and method that postmodernism rejects. So any code that includes (2) is wrong.
