The quickest answer is that postmodern theories/theorists are those that are labeled by modernists. Most of the people that we associate closely with postmodern theory, in Sociology, would reject the label for themselves, including Michel Foucault, Jean-Francois Lyotard, and Baudrillard.

  • Deviance - 648 words
    Deviance It seems to me that when I think about deviant behavior, I tend to think of murder, robbery and things of that nature. But even so, I still have engaged in a form of deviant behavior - I have pedaled pornography on the Internet.

And even though most people will argue that they don't like pornography in any form, the pornography industry is a lucrative world, so someone is buying it. I mean don't get me wrong, I believe in censorship when it comes to minors accessing pornography, and I as an a ...
