Summary/Abstract: In this paper, the author selects from the reference literature a few ideas that are used as arguments for demonstrating the ambiguity of the current community impact on human civilization. Without discrediting the advantages of the undisputed materials of civilization and contemporary technology, the present survey focuses on the anticipation of the modernizing influences, particularly of its collateral aspects on the spiritual life of human communities’ influences that have had as effect a disruption of human relationships and of traditional customs. The author intends to draw attention to the danger that the modern civilization awaits, if it is unable to control its own accomplishments.
