![]() One of the problem with Meta-narratives like this is “So…… what’s next?”. President Bush even claimed to a senior Palestinian official that “God told me to end the tyranny in Iraq “. So in a way, the 2003 invasion of Iraq could be thought of a neo-crusade by the Godly United States of America against the barbaric and despotic hordes of Iraq. Likewise, the 9/11 narrative portrays the West as the Kingdom of God while the Middle East as Hell. The 9/11 master narrative draws inspiration from Christian doctrine where sinners are cast into hell and the pious brought into the kingdom of God. The 9/11 master narrative, which forms the direct backdrop to the book the Reluctant Fundamentalist, seeks to establish the the legitimacy of the war on terror. President Bush also created a master narrative of his own, which I’ll refer to due to lack of a better name as the 9/11 master narrative. Meta-narratives do not have to be as lofty as to give meaning to history/life but can also be simpler ones that deal with morals and ethics. Marx believed that the meaning of history and existence was so that human society would eventually advance to a stage where everyone had class consciousness and were no longer divided into social classes. Karl Marx explained History through the division of it into 5 phases from Primitive Communism all the way to Communism. The Meta narrative is made of many different story’s but does not relate to any, if relating this to a person, the person has no story nor morals or any structure then it will be difficult for the person to progress, then imagine the affects that this can have on society.A master narrative is the idea that events should be interpreted through a linear fashion in order to give an overarching meaning to existence. The Meta narrative has no real story hence is not related to reality. ![]() In the breakdown of modernism society lost the meaning of the grand narrative (the story/morals) in the exchange of Meta narrative. Hence the grand narrative is the story and the meaning of all stories that perceive it, the grand narrative also has the power to hinder the advance of society. (n.d.)
