ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Second modernity

Second modernity is a way of thinking about the world and our lives. It is based on the idea that with advances in technology and communication, the world is rapidly changing and complicated. It means that instead of living in a world that is static, we live in one that is dynamic and full of opportunities. We need to be flexible and adapt to the changes so that we can stay ahead. Second modernity encourages us to think critically and have an open mind. It helps us to develop our own ideas and to use them to better understand the world around us.
