Postmodernism

    I thought the first reading was interesting because it opened up by describing how people of the Middle Ages would not have to interact with people of different cultures, unless they had a desire to conquer those said cultures.  I am currently taking a class on the history of the Middle Ages, and according to what we have learned so far, the article was correct is saying most cultures of that era do not interact unless it is for negative reasons.
    In regards to the first reading, do postmodernists dislike the idea of technology and social media?
The second reading was more difficult to understand; I wasn't sure exactly what point the author was trying to make.  Was he/she suggesting that Disneyland is an escape from reality? Or where people actually show their true selves?
