The Current Security of the Arab countries is despondent, as it is
engulfed in a vicious circle of instability and lack of security. Fears of
loss of coexistence, social peace and internal security are renewed every
day. Security is a social deman
d that guarantees individual. A and social
personality enrichment, integration, and blossom its potential. The
relationship between people and their security on the one hand, and those
responsible for security on the other hand, acquires paramount
importance for both parties. But the irony is that for most people the mere
mentioning of security or the security apparatuses provokes a state of fear
and anxiety. What is the secret behind that? How should we understand
the reality of the problematic relationship between people and the
security apparatuses? How to understand that while the security
apparatuses are the tools for providing security to the people, at the same
time are a source of their apprehension.
The study attempts to understand the problematic relationship
between public and the security institution, and to employ this
understanding to think about the elements of a possible perception for
building bridges of trust between the people and the security apparatuses.
The method of the study will be based on description and analysis in the
context of the historical dimension of the relationship between people and security apparatuses. The study will also rely on the content analysis of
some texts and art forms that reflect this relationship, in order to identify
the image of the security man in the social imagination, as well as the
explanatory value of this image as to the nature of people's relationship
with the security apparatuses.
