THE POSITIVE ROLE OF THE MIDDLE CLASS AND OF NATIONALISM IN HUMAN SECURITY

Despite all the acknowledgements of the scientific research in the field of security and despite all the inventions that make life a little bit easier for us humans, the security level of everyday life in the world, the human security, is lower day by day. The present paper tries to identify some causes of these facts. So, among these are the deterioration of the educational system, the struggle to fight against nationalism, the loss of the identity, the loss of the self-consciousness and the loss of the influence that the middle class once had. In this sense, the representatives of the political power, at least in the Western world, are not willing to provide a transparent, open speech that can lead to revealing the real causes of the low level of security and of poverty. Instead, they talk about this abstract vague enemy called terrorism.
