Thank you for this insight. No doubt that liquid modernity and liquid love are shaping social behavior today. I can't help but wonder how the attack on religion in our schools and society has helped shape these phenomena. Our Founder's principals, despite holding differing religous beliefs, were ahchored in a faith in God that has eroded as God has been gradually removed from our cultural institutions. Individual actions guided by faith and morality are disappearing, replaced by behaviors driven by the liquid modernity and liquid love you discuss. The principals of "In God We Trust", and "E Pluribus Unum" are scantly recognizable in today's society.
While I respect the role faith plays for many people, I don't personally believe in God and approach these topics from a different angle. The shifts we're seeing in social behavior, influenced by ideas like liquid modernity and liquid love, are happening independently of religious belief. It's also worth mentioning that religion should not be part of public schools. Schools should be spaces where all students, regardless of their beliefs, feel included and respected and keeping religion separate from education helps ensure that.
