Home – What a antiquated term, many think. Especially those who feel at home all over world today. Homeland, that’s for you: Province, Enge, stink of home movies from 1950s and home poets like Theodor Storm. So anything that doesn’t happen in your hip world in Berlin-Mitte or Hamburg-Eppendorf.

And yet home to most people also in year 2017 is a central category of ir life. In his speech on day of German Unity, federal president Frank-Walter Steinmeier spoke in connection with success of AfD in Bundestag election from yearning for homeland and orientation, which is a great deal. “Those who yearn for home are not from yesterday,” he stressed.
In fact, feeling of having lost one’s own place in life and in world, or fear of losing it, is a central moment that drives unsettling into clutches of nationalists and foreign enemies. Not only in Germany. Globalisation and Europeanization may appear to members of political, economic and cultural elite, successful and world, as an inexorable way to global freedom, self-realisation and boundless opportunities.
For many, however, global changes are particularly threatening. They fear for ir life and future prospects, ir qualifications, ir job, ir family, ir sense of security. In short: Your private, native plaice. For m, globalization means above all one thing: competition and fear.

There is a concern about many refugees and migrants. Through m, downside of globalization is directly in country and partly also in ir lives. The competition for workplace – so far often only virtually noticeable in transfer of production to cheap developing countries – is now seemingly tangible: uprooted people from global South also come due to forced opening of markets after Germany. And form a cheap reserve army in refugee shelters for industry and growing service sector.

Anyone who fears that a newcomer will away him his job or his apartment has little or nothing left for much-vaunted welcome culture. Especially as migrants are not usually accommodated where Lobsinger of refugee are living, but in socially weak quarters. There y compete with those who desperately need an affordable stay.
This is immediate side of refugee problem. However, fear of descent has long since taken not only workers and unemployed people who have migrated to AfD in Bundestag election, millions of union, SPD and left. It now reaches far into working center. There, too, uncertainty and fear of loss of familiar security is taking hold.
