Answer: They tell exactly where a place is between lines of latitude or longitude.
Minutes and seconds are smaller, more exact measurements than degrees, which are the basic units of latitude and longitude. They can be compared to feet and yards vs. miles. Using a smaller unit of measurement helps to describe the exact geographic position, whereas simply giving the position in degrees gives a more general description of the location.

In what ways was Postmodernism a continuation of Modernism, and in what ways a departure from Modernism?
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

1. They both focus on the role of language, power relations and motivations.

2. Postmodernism is a departure from modernism because emphasises are laid on parody, playfulness and irony. Truth is relative as well in postmodernism.

Explanation:

Postmodernism holds the the beliefs and ideas same as modernism, but lays emphasises on playfulness, parody and irony. Postmodernists concentrates on the function of exploring the universal system by forming what is known as the truth itself. The postmodernists mostly have rhetorics that gives rise to any sort of a perceived reality that is universal. Postmodernist thoughts are essentially deliberate departures from those of the modernist approaches that have been previously dominant. Postmodernists trust that the westerners’ claims of freedom and wealth continue to be nothing but vain affirmations and they have not met the needs of humanity. They affirm that truth is relative, which implies that the way one sees the truth differs from the way another sees it.
