Baudrillard
Jean Baudrillard was a French theorist who analyzed signs and symbols in culture. He believed that in postmodern society, signs and media no longer represent reality but instead create simulations and hyperreality that blur the lines between real and fictional. According to Baudrillard, we live in a world where signs reflect other signs and claims to reality are themselves artificial constructions. Contemporary media play a role in alienating us from the real world and reflecting the views of powerful groups through language and ideology. This has generated a spectacular simulated world that reality cannot match.

09. Contemporary Media Issues - Baudrillard Simulacra McLuhan The Gulf WarAlleyn's School Film Studies Department
The document provides an overview of postmodernist concepts related to media and reality as discussed by theorists Jean Baudrillard and Marshall McLuhan. It summarizes Baudrillard's view that media creates a "hyperreality" that replaces genuine social experience with artificial simulations and signs, while McLuhan believed media unified society into a "global village." Reality television is discussed as a prime example of how media constructs an artificial hyperreal version of reality that further distances people from lived experiences.Second Life: The Future of Communications?

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views.
