The sentence seeks to convey that in the western countries, technological forces pose a danger to the equilibrium of social dynamics.

THREATEN means that it seems likely to produce an unpleasant or unwelcome result. ILLUSTRATE- to explain or make (something) clear by using examples, charts, pictures, etc. INTENSIFY- become or make more intense. VULNERABLE- exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed, either physically or emotionally.
