Fluidity/flexibility in the present world, with some exceptions, to my observation, mark the crisis of identities in various spheres of life. Can we say "welcome" to these features by not disturbing our traditions and identities?
Yes, fluidity and flexibility are key aspects of the current identity crisis in various aspects of life. As we navigate these changes, it's important to find a balance between welcoming these features and preserving our traditions and identities. This way, we can maintain cultural continuity and promote social unity, while still adapting to the ever-evolving world.
Flexibility could be in the axis of the convenitonal wisdom, keeping a middle course.
This process is spontaneous and it is difficult to indicate the directions of its course. For now, we are seeing a negation of values that have been accepted and considered indisputable until now. Constructs requiring the stakeholder to spend energy without individual material benefits are negated. Choices dictated by merchant attitudes dominate. Others are rejected or adopted in a conservative form (dormant, potentially suitable for future use). This issue concerns depositaries, especially institutional ones.
I would say, in a little different tone, that you have rightly pointed out the fluidity/flexibility as features of contemporary societies, not only confined to identity. Nevertheless, acknowledging the contemporary increasing pace, we also need to accept that it was "there" even "earlier". No dimension of society and culture, including the identity, might have been in pristine static form as we assume these days.
Yes, but the process was not as fast as it is now. Another difference is that at that time the changes affected only a certain territory, and then it radiated to others, and now - I have the impression - they run independently of previous borders.
A fusion of horizons could be reached via a dialouge. Effetive history can distance us from the subjectivity enhancing the intersubjectivity. More communicaiton helps with a constructive meaningful interpretation of the contemporary issues.
