Document Summary

Awkwardness can be seen in a good way because it can push us back into the past when our societies have become attracted by values and expectations. Awkwardness was written by adam kotsko in 2010. Awkwardness has been one of the defining traits of the awkwardly in the first decade of our century dominating comedy on both the big and small screens. In awkwardness, adam kotsko answers that question with a resounding yes. He argues that the awkwardness of our age is a key to understanding human experience. He discussed in his book that tension of awkwardness shows that social orders are ambiguous and account for all possibilities because humans are basically social and have no built-in norms. Relating back to human experience about awkwardness, kotsko reframed the scene in his book by saying that people have mastered at diagnosing awkwardness because awkwardness is widespread and stuck with their daily routine.
