serial comma usage

0In today's globalized world01b00,02b00 we are seeing violent extremist types of alienation, narcissism01b00,02b00 and fundamentalist religious, national, ethnic gender-related phobias which, near and far, have tightened the ring of dialogue, tolerance01b00,02b00 and coexistence in the world. These alienations, phobias01b00,02b00 and narcissisms, although more dangerous when religious, are not limited to religion in the first place and moreover are not limited to a specific religion.02br
02br
00Please check bold commas (01b00,02b00) inserted. Are the insertions correct? I have doubt in comma insertion between narcissm, and fundamentalist religious and also between phobias01b00,02b00 and narcissisms. I thought it as serial comma. Does the author intend to mean "narcissm and fundamentalist religious..." and "phobias and narcissisms" as alienation? Kindly advise.0-
