This video tries to explains that Post-Modernism is not a philosophy, it is just a way of analysing things; it is a critic of what we assume is real. He says that Post-modernism argues that there is no truth and that the whole thing that we watch and hear is social constructed. So, what is social constructed? Social construct includes genders, power and class which means that they are real and fixed however post-modernism argues back that none of this are "absolute" truth and it is something we have all created as a society and now we believe that these are the truth. Furthermore, Post-Modernism wants to break down the idea of Good + Evil and the binary of Male + Female. Overall, Post-Modernism is a very difficult word to understand hence there is no correct definition for it and was introduced in the late 19th century.
Still didn't get what Post-Modernism means? Well, it is almost something that challenges the existing theories and de-constructs.
