A basis a hypothesis of research is the assumption that information is differently perceived in various ethnoses, religions, the states is influences the made decisions, behavior, the formed cultural stereotypes, laws, etc. But it is necessary to specify that according to the assumption of uniform model for all societies at this stage of development can't be.Article is devoted to the analysis of concepts, important for science: information, information society, influencing safety and a conflictness between the people owing to various reading of information codes. Information can be a development tool of economy and science, but the accent is taken on development of economy. For it it is focused on sensually perceived information in which the conflict is initially hidden. The main method used in work is the theoretical analysis of scientific works. The analysis was carried out on the basis of system approach to the studied material. For a formulation of conclusions inductive and deductive methods were actively used. Article offers not a standard view of process of social development during information era, underlines problematical character of development of the society founded on flows of information, growth of extremism and a conflictogenity in the world. Information society is inconsistent owing to variability of a major factor of development of society – information. Information transfers to society all the properties: rapidity, discrepancy, emotionality, short duration, etc. – all these properties shown in society lead it to social and economic and political crisis that we obviously see at the present stage: split of the USSR, Yugoslavia, ethnic conflicts and color revolutions.
