Summary/Abstract: The current global crises, the health crisis and the information wars and their axiological aspects have created risks and threats to the security of human beings and societies. The postmodern approach comes with a skepticism, subjectivism and relativism, a suspicion of the foundations of Western culture. Their systematic destruction, the use of language to promote an ideology becomes the source of chaos and decreases the degree of social cohesion in any society. The values of the postmodern world, tolerance and equality, come into conflict with the traditional society that had at the top of the hierarchy a truth of a religious nature. The current COVID19 crisis leads to a dangerous mutation of two state archetypal models: T. Hobbes's leviathan with C. G Jung's devouring mother archetype, leads to a the limitation in rights and a degradation of the human being. In the curent information wars to ensure the security of the citizen, axiological immunization provides the way for global problems at the local level.
