Anthony Giddens

Anthony Giddens is a British sociologist known for his work on the nature of modern society and globalization. He introduced the concept of "structuration," which suggests that social structures are not just constraints but are also shaped by human actions. Giddens emphasizes the impact of modernity on social life, particularly through his analysis of institutions, identity, and risk. His influential book, "The Consequences of Modernity," explores how modern societies are interconnected and how individuals navigate the complexities of modern life. Giddens' ideas help us understand social change and the challenges of the contemporary world.
