Answer
Giddens critiques postmodernity as an inadequate response to modernity. He argues that postmodernity is an attempt to escape from the problems of modernity, but that it does not actually solve these problems. Rather, it simply ignores them or pretends that they do not exist. Giddens believes that we need to confront the problems of modernity head-on, rather than trying to escape from them.
