Abstract: Modern post-industrial society is characterised by profound changes in the social structure. It forms a classless hierarchical system with many social, national and other group differences. This format corresponds to the concept of an open society, but it is characterised by instability, which is explained by the presence of a huge number of sources of information about an event or object. Within the framework of this study, there is a consideration of the concept of the image of the country and the phenomenon of information security using the examples of the countries of Central Asia, in particular Kazakhstan. The information presented in this article can be used as an introduction for future and current workers in the field of international humanitarian relations, including for a wide range of readers interested in this topic.

Keywords: post-industrial society; social structure; social conflicts; stereotypes; national security; media sphere.
