Discussing modern vs. post-modern art yesterday in class got me thinking more about the subject. While past art was more religious based, it seems that newer art is just becoming more and more cruel as we move on through time. While art used to be paintings of people or religous figures, we now seem to get most of our entertainment through the videos we see online and the various terrible things we see throughout society. Whenever something goes bad in society, like a terrorist attack, a school shooting, or Brittney Spears chugging vodka with her baby in her arms, we immediately run the the computer to see if there are any videos or pictures about it that would interest us and grab our attention. Opposing the past forms of art, our modern entertainment is moslty through bad things happening within the world and has nothing to do with religion whatsoever.
