A new cosmopolitan lifestyle causes significant weakening of values such as patriotism, independence traditions and the tradition of the Polish army, or Christian values that are at the core of the European-Atlantic world. In such outlined perspective the most likely threats to the cultural security of Poland for the coming years will concern the growing crisis of national identity, internalization of risks of social nature, cultural dependence and even restraining the sovereignty of the state. The phenomena and social processes that may help to slow down or stop the process of democratization of the country and the process of building up the civil society, slow down the development of civilization, or cause disturbances in the process of social reproduction seem threatening. This forces the necessity to maintain a balance between internal development, built on the basis of native values, and protection against unwanted influences and simultaneous internalization of culturally enriching elements.
