Answer 1

1. suspicion of "meta-narratives", meaning any scientific, religious, or philosophical system that believes it can explain everything in an all encompassing theory or story.

2. suspicion of "human nature".  Post-moderns don't like it when you make general claims about universal humanity.

3. suspicion of "progress".  Postmodern folks don't really believe that reason or democracy are making the world a better place.  Instead, after stuff like the holocaust, the postmodern believes that it is naive to talk like that.
