Description
In biology, parasitism is a form of symbiosis in which one organism—the parasite—extracts resources from another organism—the host—thereby progressively weakening its viability. When the parasitic burden exceeds a critical threshold, the host perishes, and not infrequently the parasite itself perishes as well. This biological analogy proves to be strikingly apt in the analysis of processes observed in contemporary European societies: the large-scale and unregulated influx of cultural models fundamentally incompatible with the value system of the receiving society operates according to the same destructive logic. The foreign cultural model does not adapt to its environment; rather, it reshapes that environment, exhausts its institutional resources, and undermines its capacity for self-reproduction.
The paper examines the transfer of foreign cultural models by immigrant communities not as a neutral social process, but as a potential threat to national security in its societal dimension.
