Abstract:
Liquid Love: On the Frailty of Human Bonds" is a thought-provoking book written by
Zygmunt Bauman, a well-known sociologist. Published in 2003, the book explores the
changing nature of love and relationships in the context of the 21st century.
The book (Bauman, 2003) explores various elements that contribute to the fragility of
human relationships in the 21st century. The book is divided into four sections, with my
primary focus for this review being on the first chapter titled "Falling In and Out of Love."
The subsequent sections explore themes such as the tools of social interaction, the
challenges of loving one's neighbour, and the dismantling of togetherness. Each section
offers unique insights into these topics, providing a comprehensive understanding of the
subject matter. The book examines various factors contributing to the fragility of human
bonds in the 21st century, presenting a structured analysis across four sections with a
primary focus on the initial chapter, "Falling In and Out of Love." The subsequent
sections focused on themes such as social interaction tools, challenges related to
neighbourly love, and the systematic dismantling of togetherness, collectively providing
a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter.
