ABSTRACT
Insecurity is said to be an inscribed condition of modernity. However, the author repeats that insecurity in modernity fuelled actions aimed at the future. In modern society, the non-human environment is external. It's a place to exercise human actions and subject to deliberate change as we shape it to our needs and desires. Human actions are liberated from their 'natural' limits. In fact, limits are no longer even contemplated everything is in our hands, both individual and the collective destiny. However, in extreme modernity or as many refer to it, postmodernity, liquid modernity and so on, many of the elements of primitive societies seem to returned. If we understand modernity as the process of secularization, liberation from the bonds of ascribed status, limited social mobility and established traditions, as well as triumph of individual action and emergence of the concept of the individual as ruler of his own life in the world, the corollary was precisely fear, uncertainty and distrust.
