Atmósfera violenta de Latinoamérica, influencia en el desarrollo actual de prácticas violentas en los contextos escolares

Abstract

The general objective of this article is to demonstrate that the violence that currently concerns educational institutions in Latin America is the result of a social construction protected by a violent culture, due to the development of socio-political conflicts. Apparently, the region has tried to correct this by means of agreements and treaties, which do not work in the deconstruction of a violent culture that is founded in the society. Also, that leaves serious repercussions represented by practices such as school violence, which is deteriorating the climate of coexistence inside school environments. The methodology implemented for the development of this work consisted of a documentary review, linked to the origin of violence in Latin American schools, which resulted in the fact that violence is a social construct, fueled by tensions and vulnerability. It was concluded that it is essential to implement projects of promotion, prevention and monitoring that build a peace culture.
