Revision as of 11:59, 6 September 2011
The ideal type of late-modern life forms and globalized societies (temporal and spatial disembeddness) is mentioned by Benno Werlen in opposite to the ideal type of traditional life forms and regional societies. The main characteristics of late-modern life forms and globalized societies are:
1. Everyday routines sustain ontological security
2. Globally observable cultures, life forms, and lifestyles
3. Production and valued work determine social positions
4. Abstract systems (money, writing, and expert systems) enable mediated social relations over enormous distances
5. Worlwide communication systems
6. Global village as anonymous context of experience
