ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Liquid modernity

Liquid modernity is a term that was created to describe the world today. It means that things in our world are always changing, just like liquid can take on different shapes. Liquid modernity is all about how things are constantly changing, and how society is always adapting. People are more open and flexible in their beliefs and ideas. People no longer stay in the same place or job for their whole lives and many people live in different countries or try out different jobs. It's much easier to connect and communicate with people from different places and cultures than it was in the past.
