Postmodernism: 1950-?


         History:


- WW2: 1939-1945
- 1950s-1960s: States, like Texas, begin proposing laws against abortion
- 1973: Roe vs. Wade determined abortion legal under the Constitution


- African American fertility/ birth rates drop due to extreme sterilization (without consent)
- Sterilization for minorities only

What does this info say about PostModernism?
- Question everything about life (people are protesting more)
- The death of the objective truth; there are many realities for many people in the country
- Power is questioned, the government's "truth" is questioned (Nazis claimed their Eugenics were the same as the United States Eugenics)
- "Science" went too far
