Summary/Abstract: Within thematic diversity, and even thematic “incompatibility”, in this text we detect not only a state of social stagnation but a state of regression, as well. Serbian society faced the period of transition unprepared and immature, in a state of total disarray. The moral crisis is the deepest and hardest to overcome. It appears that societies where human existence is of no value are the most difficult when democratic changes and civil society have to be created. Refuge in self-isolation is recognized as an anti-civilizational process, as well as a collapse of historical-epochal tendencies. This is why bringing fundamental changes to life is so drastically uncertain.
