Postmodernity and Popular Culture

Abstract

Philosophers, preachers and theologians of all kinds like to think that what people believe affects how they behave. However, in many cases, it is the change in social circumstances that compel a change in behaviour. The protagonists in the film “The Full Monty” are forced to find new ways of making a living not because they have chosen to do so, but because they have been forced to do so by their external circumstances (in their case, the closure of the steel mill in which they worked).
