Abstract

Many studies have shown the deep relation between crises, natural disasters, epidemics and the adoption of each society a specific social and culture type which differs according to each social, cultural and psychological entity. Using the descriptive survey, In this research, we matched the concept of physiological immunity with what we termed social immunity (according to historical evidence and field data). This is to show the acquired immunity of some social systems as a result of long and continuous crises, natural disasters and lethal disease which characterizes many societies more than others or which exists in severe form. This situation is due to whether the geographical situation, several invasions, settlements and colonization (mischief, or shortage in resources), or even to social and political revolution movements. All what preceded make resistant societies which adopts psychological, social and cultural life style mechanism. We have contrasted the above mentioned concept on the corona pandemic crisis and we have noticed the activation of a typical immune system having an Algerian specificity.
