In a sense, then, to acculturize the future, we must re-craft the past, and the way that seems to happen is in the synergism of myth and ritual as expressed in a variety of forms that examine humanity.

Introduction Postmodernism is, according to the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), a reaction to the "assumed certainty of scientific, or objective efforts to explain reality." The real understanding of life, according to postmodernism, is what one's mind – in its own personal reality – tries to figure out and decipher about life.
