Demonstrate your analytical ability towards complex issues found in the popular cartoon "The Simpson's" in a practical environment.

The Simpson's is a postmodern television show. This being said postmodernism is defined as "both a historical period and an attitude. As a historical period it refers to the culture that has emerged in the wake of the media age. As an attitude, postmodernism rejects the values of the past not in favor of any new vales but only to ironize vale systems as such" (Solomon, 230).

This a very stereo typical of people running for an office who are trying to get into the publics eye. The Simpsons obviously over do it though leaving the watcher with a cheesy after taste. Towards the end of the episode Mr. Burns decides to have dinner with the average man as represented by Homer.
