THE NEW REALITY FROM MODERN TO POSTMODERN

Abstract

Society is the place where individuals cooperate or conflict around these institutions, consisting of economic, religious, political and family institutions. Based on this meaning, it is concluded that it is the actions of individuals that shape the society. In other words, the structure of the institutions changes according to the way the individuals are involved in the mentioned institutions, and this change spreads to the whole society. But the world stage has been the venue for many changes in the same century. Scientific and technological developments and what they brought with them, this time forced the individual to keep up with the transformation. Globalization, industrialization, urbanization, and the change that sparked in individuals with communication technologies resulted in the loss of the predictability of the rational individual, who first wanted to be molded with modernism, with postmodernism. The main claim of the study is that the social structures that are supposed to be standardized with modernism created a new reality that is quite different from the previous one and in an unplanned way after the modernity. In this study, the change of the individual that started with modernism and the transformation that emerged after modernism are compiled with their communicative dimensions in the context of new reality.
