Societies need common taboos for their self-preservation. They can be regarded as social defence mechanisms and are therefore unconscious or dissociation phenomena. These qualities may explain many social incompatibilities and, as well as this, the inability of societies to introduce rationally-founded social changes. From this perspective, the decline of ethnic entities can be understood. Marking taboos may therefore be seen as a key to understanding social processes and social standstills. Here the present political developments in Germany serve as an example.
社会为了自我保护需要共同的禁忌。它们可被视为社会防御机制，因此是无意识的或解离现象。这些特质或许可以解释许多社会不相容现象，以及社会无法推行有合理依据的社会变革的情况。从这个角度来看，民族实体的衰落是可以理解的。因此，标记禁忌可能被视为理解社会进程和社会停滞的关键。在此，德国当前的政治发展可作为一个例子。
