verbal violence

Verbal violence is the expression that denotes the phenomenon of aggressive behavior and offender deliberately presented by all the citizens or by them within the limits of interpersonal space. It has qualities that differentiate from other types of violent action taken by individuals or groups of people and it triggers a consequence of the conditions of life and conviviality. Its most obvious manifestation is the high rates of aggression incited after discussions, the more constant is the violation of basic codes of civilized conduct. The observation of the moral conduct of mankind, or civility, over time shows a gradual process of internalization, there is a clear trend, which is the approval or disapproval of external actions and their consequences for the approval or disapproval of the intentions that serve as the basis for these actions, therefore, the foundations of morality does not infer a metaphysical principle, but what is most peculiar to man, the abuse and violence are against all principles, both moral, physical or verbal, and, to paraphrase Isaac Asimov in his science fiction Foundation: violence is the last resort of the incompetent.

racism

Racism is the trend of thought, or way of thinking which gives great importance to the notion of the existence of separate human races and over each other. Where there is a belief that some individuals and the relationship between heritable physical characteristics, and certain traits of character and intelligence, or cultural, are superior to others. Racism is not a scientific theory but a set of pre conceived opinions where the main function is to exploit the biological differences between humans, which some believe is superior to the other according to their racial matrix. The belief of the existence of superior and inferior races was often used to justify slavery, the dominance of certain other peoples, and the genocide that occurred throughout the history of mankind.

culture

Culture is dynamic. How adaptive mechanism and cumulative, the culture change. Traces are lost, others are added in different rates in different societies.

Two basic mechanisms allow for cultural change: the invention or introduction of new concepts, and dissemination of concepts from other cultures. There is also the discovery, which is a kind of cultural change caused by the revelation of something unknown by the society and she decides to adopt.

The change usually leads to resistance. Since the aspects of cultural life are linked together, the minimum change of only one of them can cause effects at all. Changes in the way of produce, for example, can interfere in the choice of members to the government or the application of laws. Resistance to change is an advantage in that it only changes really useful, and are therefore inevitable, will be taken to avoid the effort of society to embrace and then reject a new concept.

Racism

Racism or prejudice is as old as mankind. The fear of the unknown is a natural reaction. Throughout the history people have made borders and strong defences to keep strangers out. In the effort to keep strangers out people are developing still stronger and more effective weapons. This striving toward safety has started several wars and killed millions of people

Racism exists practically in all countries.
If things are going badly many people’s natural reaction is to blame somebody else. This is exactly what often causes racism, if the unemployment is rising or the national economy is very weak.

-> RACISM IS CAUSED BY FEAR

In some cases racism can generate such an enormous amount of anger that it can cause a war. The thing that causes this anger is mainly fear.
To fight racism we have to get to know each other and learn more about each other’s cultures. We have got to share each other’s joys, but also learn that we often have the same problems and worries.

RACISM RUINS LIVES!

Women victory

Votes for women were first seriously proposed in the United States in July, 1848, at the Seneca Falls Woman's Rights Convention organized by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott. One woman who attended that convention was Charlotte Woodward. She was nineteen at the time. In 1920, when women finally won the vote throughout the nation, Charlotte Woodward was the only participant in the 1848 Convention who was still alive to cast her vote. Eighty-one years old, she cast her vote proudly.
