Structural Transformation and Personal Coherence
In recent years, the problem of structural violence has developed in various parts of the world. In Latin America, it has become common over the last several decades to incorporate reflection on such structural dimensions into social analysis. This has been part of an intellectual tradition which seeks to explain poverty and inequality by stressing the role played by economic and political structures. Such a structural perceptive in social analysis certainly includes various schools of thought. This reality of violence is characterized by misery and unemployment which especially affects families. On top of this, the reality in Latin America is characterized by an additional feature: great social and regional inequalities. All of these features make it possible to characterize a situation injustice, a situation of institutionalized violence.
