The consequences of modernity by Giddens

Giddens develops a reasoning rather pessimistic in the face of modernity. This new way of life, which emerged in Europe during the seventeenth century and gradually became world, stole their individuality of the individual left the man immersed in a huge void, where it is fully disoriented.
Modern man was not prepared for such radical changes in their values, beliefs and
perceptions of life. He can no longer aim in their work and can not even deal with machines that imitate and substitute.
In anguish he begins to lose his humanity.
To explain this movement toward nothingness, a vision históricodialética Giddens uses to analyze the society in question. This dialectical view is responsible for the historical dynamic that drives the modern man.
He is a spacetime undock in modern society.
The premodern man, possessed a greater contact with nature and with his village. This
contact gave him a different setting compared to the time it was measured by its
natural perception.
Not so in modern times. Modern man uses the clock, something that in no
resembles a nature to establish their temporal notions.
Modernity has also changed the form of man to relate to the spaces, their vision
world was limited to what he had greater contact with his neighbor.
With this, Giddens's analysis of vision of nineteenth-century thinkers, seeking
acrescentálos the way of understanding the process of modernization. Marx saw the whole process of modernity as a dialectical process that with the fall of the capitalist mode of production would go out to the emergence of a mode of production more concerned with human beings.
Durkheim saw the possibility of industrialization in a more harmonious existence where the individual values ​​and division of labor would allow the man more capable of development as such. Weber saw this new pessimism with the modern world as it is constructed of creativity in the degeneration and loss of autonomy of individuals.
