The Age of Violence
The call time of the violence does not occur as an isolated or spontaneous saw it coming. It speaks of "violence of 1946 conservative" and there is facile to attribute the trend only one cause: the partisan cause. Making a more detailed analysis can identify several casual:
1. The political cause: this is the biggest and therefore goes to the head, number one. In 1946 he won the conservative candidate Mariano Ospina Perez votes exceeded the liberals Gabriel Turbay and Jorge Eliecer Gaitan, if they had been united with a single candidate would have won.
2. The cause of religion: the religions whose main purpose is to unite men in different eras have been a reason to exacerbate the hatred.
3. Violence as catharsis: in Latin America almost all revolutions and all major political movements are characterized by disregard for human life as if the killings would like to renew humanity and, in the case of Colombia, rid the country of clogging kind.

Botero depicts decades of violence in Colombia
Hello Friends of group political antagonisms.
ResponderEliminarGood blog about the history of bipartisanship in Colombia. But today we could talk of bipartisanship?
I believe that today the political configuration has changed. Today, other political parties and they have power in the state.

In the bipartisan fight, can we find some causes of violence today?
