Sociedad del miedo edificada por el desarrollo modernista: enlaces con la fragilidad humana y la percepción del otro

Abstract

This essay briefly talks about the development of the models of the existentialism founded in the premises that the modernity modified life around the world, occidentalizing it. It talks about the attempt and the failure of the instauration of the Welfare State that resulted in a permanent state of crisis and instability. It generated what is known as the society of the fear built in the restructured formulation of the ternary system of the fear. This society of the fear is at the same time the society of the risk where the human being is lead by a materialism that moves them to an unconscious and unsustainable level of consumption. It deals with the interconnections of the phenomenon with the human fragility that has increased during its process. This course of action sustains a tendentious role of the other humans, based on the stereotyped and negative ideas that have created a broken society characterized by the individualism.
