Balancing the rights of the individual to lead a self-determined life while
accommodating traditional identity groups is a central goal of liberal society. The
modernity argument suggests that processes within modernity are capable of
liberalizing societies. The emergence of modern information technology has drastically
increased the speed of the liberalizing influence of modernity to the point that this goal
is threatened. However, using tools found within discourse theory, traditional identity
groups may be able to mitigate these incoming influences to such a degree as to
rebalance these liberal goals.
