For my Postmodern essay I wish to indulge into the world of Science and the separated debates that surround it's existence amongst mankind. I wish to pursue this via using a film that references a technological age that mankind has developed beyond itself using Science, yet deconstructs itself via depicting the technology as something undesirable or inhumane.
Science has existed with a prolonging shadow of an unprecedented discouragement since the rise of Post modernism. In today's culture we see that many find it hard to comprehend the structures both on academical terms and in popular culture. Science has always been scrutinised by those of a religious position, where the methodological steps of such theories as evolution have been disregarded as blasphemy towards a God as being the creator. This doesn't seem to have any stable sense however, as the world does develop and move onwards with complete proof and evidence of such a progression, so why couldn't this notion co exist with a God? Science as a constructional entity is seen as an avant - garde of an exploitary method of discovery, a discipline with no boundaries that runs wild in its own playground, something which can deconstruct the moral of nature itself.
We find in films such as Metropolis, Equilibrium, The Matrix and Blade Runner being examples of this notion toward's technology and its co-existance with mankind.

Hi Chris - look, before you go any further with this, I want you to look at the 'how-to' presentation on myUCA/Postmodernism/Unit Materials - it includes lots of basic stuff about the proper way to approach this assignment - and there are also 2 example assignments available which I strongly encourage you to read. The tone of this snippet of your essay is already rather too unstructured and subjective - and you're expected to write an evidence-based assignment , and that's a different animal altogether. Please - do the reading, or you're going to struggle to meet the assessment criteria.
