Securities problem in context of contemporary cultural processes

The article analyzes the substance of security as social phenomena using methodological tools of cultural studies, specifically activity approach in definition of culture. Security is evaluated as framework of activities to prevent entropy in processes of social systems in context of their cultural development. Therefore activity performs as essence of security, and ethnic culture as embodiment of machinery of its implementation. All attempts to level the global cultural diversity within developments of "westernization" based on europocentric approach bring the danger for humankind in sense that they can liquidate diverse historically grounded mechanisms of organization of social activities and safeguarding of security. In consequence these attempts may threaten the global security itself. The policies of solution of contemporary global issues on the base of political principles elaborated by European civilization in the course of cultural development of the West, and exemplified by peculiar European version of globalization without consideration of historical experience and interests of other parts of humankind are fraught with global cultural catastrophes. This is not only background of different contemporary armed conflicts, it is the deadlock for solution of really important global problems.
