Modernity and the Sociological Response

T he words modern and modern - photo 4

The words modernand modernityare used in a number of different ways. Sometimes modern is used in the same way as contemporary or up-to-date. Other times its used as an adjective, as in modern art or modern architecture. In the social disciplines, there has been a good bit of debate about the idea of modernity. Some argue that we are no longer modern; others that we never were; and still others that we are living in some different form of modernity, like liquid modernity. Were not going to enter into this debate directly here, but the existence of the debate is important for us.
