This work attempts to deepen the concept of instability which we live, where everything becomes confused and uncertain, where the modern dream fades, perhaps giving up, as a society, what could have been a fruitful modernity. The political and economic changes that began after the fall of the Berlin Wall, as a result of the theories promoted by Milton Friedman and his followers in the Chicago school, determined this transformation, yet difficult social perception. Numerous sociological studies that indicate the growth of inequality, in other words, a tendency towards deterioration of the quality of life and economic security of families, along with other determinants as the finiteness of natural resources and environmental degradation. All this leads to a clear dichotomy remains to be clarified: the social majority still anchored in the concept of belonging to the middle class and seems to refuse to accept the reality of events, trying to hide his true status or outright ignore the intricacies of the system.
