Baudrillard

Think back 9/11 'it was like a Movie', Baudrillard gives this phenomenon a name, Simulacra Simulation. 
Baudrillard claims that our current society has replaced all reality and meaning with symbols and signs, and that human experience is of a simulation of reality. 


He believes we cannot separate the image from the 'reality', for example when we drink coke we drink more than brown coloured water flavoured with sugar, we drink the marketing and lifestyle associated with it.
