Contemporary Society

Contemporary society name: Institution: Contemporary society, society and political scientists link modern society with many features including rapid technological progress, expansion of interpersonal relationship, promotion of gender equality and respect for human rights (Halcli & Browning, 2000, p. 226). However, there are many obstacles to achieving some important social problems, such as properly securing gender equality in various government agencies and private institutions.

Discussion about postmodernity has two distinct factors that often confuse; (1) the essence of modern society and (2) the essence of contemporary society criticism. The first of these elements relates to the nature of the change that occurred in the second half of the 20th century. There are three main analyzes. Theorists such as Callinicos (1991) and Calhoun (1995) showed a conservative position on the essence of modern society, abandoned the significance and the degree of social and economic change, and stressed the continuity with the past. Secondly, a series of theorists attempted to analyze the development of the current "modern" project as a second, but still "modern". This was called "second" or "risk" society by Ulrich Beck (1986). ), Giddens 'late' or 'advanced' modernity (1990, 1991), Zygmunt Bauman (2000) 'flowing' modernity, and Castells 'network' society (1996, 1997)

The meaning and definition of modern times is controversial. Some theorists believe that modern society is a modern society. It is bureaucratic rational secular and democratic capitalism. There is no substitute. Some theorists believe that major changes have occurred in recent years, and we have entered a new post-modern world. Classical thinkers, Marx, Weber, Durchem, and Shimmel agree that they form a central feature of modernity. Prior to defining and analyzing the modern meaning adopted by contemporary theorists, we first discuss classical theorists who use the concept of modernity.
