In the last decades behavioral habits have been replicated by a social group that, being outside the law, manages to permeate the codes of conduct of society.
To be or to seem
Being a hoodlum or behaving as such is not seen as something positive in Venezuelan society, but there are sectors in which people live and socialize with them.
SOURCEDue to such a "lax" normative framework, in Venezuela it is increasingly common to observe behaviors such as disrespect for property, public spaces and authority, as well as the appropriation of others and evasion of responsibilities. These aspects are part of a criminal behavior. It is also common for the ordinary citizen to perform daily actions that do not measure the consequences for third parties, since it has a negative institutional "modeling", which generates a culture of "do whatever is for your own benefit, it does not matter, because the law in this country does not exist. "
This is how the so-called "Creole liveliness" is also a stigma of the culture of the offender, because for these individuals only their interests are worth and rarely look at the consequences of their actions. Furthermore, this type of attitude is translated into the common language, because the "irreverence" before the authority becomes a code of conduct, generating conflicts within the communities.
The Justice of the Peace must be taken as an alternative mechanism for resolving conflicts in the country. There is an Organic Law that, in practice, ceased to be valid for several years for political reasons. The implementation of this norm can contribute to the generation of citizen behaviors that promote coexistence, dialogue and agreements to reduce conflict, a breeding ground for crime.
Rescue the values
SOURCEBut can anything be done so that the Venezuelan is not defined by this behavior?
A determining factor to avoid this generalization is to have more and better education as a preventive mechanism. The socialization of values in the community is done fundamentally through education, and this is the ethical imperative that the Venezuelan State must break with the culture of crime and establish a good citizenship and peace. It is important to identify from the school the risk factors that exist in the community for the increase of violence and the use of the codes (language and behavior) of the delinquency.
In the country there is a lack of information campaigns that invite us to maintain and strengthen values, but positive ones, which reinforce work, solidarity, respect, and awareness of acts, that is, those that our grandparents tried for transmitting. In the house, work is hard, but it is the most important, of course, it must go hand in hand with true peace policies. This is a joint effort, a public-private partnership, but it can be done.
Depending on the risk factors, pedagogical strategies must be implemented from schools that are transversal to the entire curriculum, and to train and inform children and adolescents about the forms of behavior suitable for a better citizen coexistence, which today it is called the development of life skills.
In the U.S., we've established civic behavior by rewarding it. With a complex system of laws that regulate human behavior, we've managed to encourage civic behavior while discouraging barbaric behavior. Of course, it's not a perfect system, and humans will always revert back to their basic nature if given an opportunity for no restraint. That's why, in recent years, we've seen more bad behavior in many ways. Still, we've done pretty good for a couple of hundred years.
It is not an easy job, my country has a long way to go once the Maduro regime ends, which together with Chavez's regime vised the citizens not to be civic at all.
You think his opposition will win? Will this really be the end of the Maduro era?
have been 20 years of socialism that have succumbed to us in misery and hunger, and the people do not support Maduro and his government plagued by drug trafficking ... for the first time in all this time we feel that finally this nightmare is going to end
