Summary/Abstract: Different kinds of reasons determine the situation of survival in certain countries of the modern world. However, it should be noted that even within them there are social strata which at this and not another future are simply doomed. We often talk about them as groups of social risk, marginalization or social and individual exclusion. Although most countries in the context of the post-Ford era are defined as development ones (in motion), it does not seem that all of them benefit from modern globalization. Confirmation of such a position may be some indicators that contradict the adopted assumptions. States and developed societies − through their economic expansion, as well as cultural one − are also becoming a source of instability in various parts of the world. For many societies, countries or social groups the twenty-first century will be just a struggle for survival, and for others a period of further accumulation of goods.
