Abstract

After careful consideration, we can say that in evolution, human society was and is

threatened by a number of factors that can be generally divided into internal, external and

natural. Currently, it is difficult to assess which are the most dangerous threats to a

community, requiring a rather complex analysis that ultimately will reveal that each threat as

beginning of last century.

In its historical development, the company has constantly sought and found various

number of dangers that threatened peace or even existence. Dangers faced by human society

can certainly be considered, but only in the general context determined by the overall

development of society it self.

Thus, some were dangers threatening peace or even the existence of a community

during slavery, feudalism others and therefore more at this stage. Given the historical

development of society, we find that these dangers are not identical; they are ultimately
