LEVELS OF SECURITY AND POSTMODERN SOCIETY

The rapid development of science and technology has led to the emergence of a crisis in society. Science „ pushes “ religion, but does not offer a new moral code in its place. The definitions of „ security “ are almost as many and as controversial as postmodernism. For the purposes of this study, however, it will be sufficient to define security as „ the functional state of a system that provides for the neutralization and counteraction of external and internal factors affecting or potentially damaging the system. This scientific article presents a study, which seeks to answer the question why the paradigm „ security “ is so important in the postmodern society, what are the roots of its influence and meaning, and to seek conclusions and guidelines for its increase. The main features of the postmodern society, some prerequisites and their implications, as well as their impact on the security of all its levels are examined. The subject of the study is the postmodern society with its specific features, and the subject - the security as an indissoluble element of the social relations in the contemporary world.
