liquid modernity

Liquid modernity is a concept describing contemporary society’s constant change and uncertainty. Unlike traditional "solid" structures—like long-term jobs, stable relationships, or fixed beliefs—liquid modernity emphasizes flexibility, individualism, and rapid shifts in social, economic, and cultural norms. People often adapt quickly to new technologies, roles, and ideas, creating a sense of fluidity and uncertainty. This ongoing change can lead to both opportunities for personal growth and challenges like insecurity or a lack of stability, reflecting a world where nothing remains fixed for long.
