I’m having trouble understanding what modernity and postmodernism mean and are. Based on the amount I understand about them, postmodernism sounds egoic with some truth to it, and modernity sounds like it has falsehoods but some truth to it.
When I try to understand what they are, I feel like I’m hearing a stereotypical feminine English person talking like the guy from The School of Life, Jordan Peterson, or Stephen Fry in that one A Bit of Fry & Laurie sketch that parodies it.

Modernity is a cultural and historical period starting in the late 18th century, characterized by reason, science, and individualism. Postmodernism is a reaction to modernity that critiques its assumptions and values and emphasizes individual perspectives and experiences. Both have strengths and weaknesses and are important to understand for a broader perspective on cultural and historical development.
