Violencia. Dimensiones E Implicaciones

Human beings are a species that generates and is characterized by cultural production, technological advances, the construction and deconstruction of theories in different theoretical and methodological fields, and giant steps in dimensions such as philosophy, culture, mathematics, physics, astronomy, psychology, engineering, biology, medicine, among many other disciplines. However, we are also a collective of living beings capable of causing profound destruction and damage, we are a species that endangers many other species with our always questioned behavior. This responds to the conditioning of what we have learned since our early childhood, to the socio-cultural context, to the psycho-biological matrix that marks our psycho-emotional, cultural and identity essence. In other words, a multiplicity of biopsychosocio-cultural factors capable of determining our perception of reality and, therefore, our behavior, both material and immaterial. When we refer to material behavior we speak of our acts, those actions that, in a reiterative process, even habits, are capable of defining us as human beings; while our immaterial behavior speaks of our thoughts, judgments, perceptions, prejudices, preconceptions, etc., and in turn determine our emotions and feelings that accompany our behaviors. Let us not forgetthat emotions and feelings are also cultural products and not only neurobiological. The discourses of power that we reproduce and with which we have become accustomed, familiarized and normatively incorporated into our social nature since childhood, are in essence responsible for our behavior, that violent behavior that we have essentially normalized and relativized. Violence is a cultural product and, therefore, the discourses of violence and power that reproduce relations of subalternity also respond to a culture of violence, the latter having become normalized, familiarized and habituated to our ways and lifestyles, but also in response to structural violence. The human being is the only being belonging to the animal kingdom capable through its material and immaterial behavior of causing harm as an objective, a species that as we have said, has contributed with great discoveries and technological, scientific and cultural developments, but also in regression in relation to the perspective of empathy with other species, in fact, with its own species. Violence has multiple forms of expression, such as gender violence, child, labor and workplace violence. There is a multiplicity of theories that attempt to explain it, from neurobiology, sociology, anthropology and even psychology; however, it is impossible to deny that there are aspects that delimit it and allow its establishment, perpetuation and reproduction. Among the latter are the sociocultural context, but also the biological and genetic determinants, and finally the psychoemotional support structures that determine the habituation, familiarization, normalization and reproduction of violence.
