The (re) construction of peace through communication

Abstract

When living in a violent environment, the construction of peace implies communication processes that help to discern what is observed. Mexico is going through difficult times where entire regions survive in high-risk conditions. Some of these regions seem to be overcoming the insecurity caused by the fight of criminal groups that seek control of the territory and the containment actions against them by the security forces. In the state of Tamaulipas, the population became an information manager that kept them safe from criminal actions. The study of this communicative process sheds light on one of the many ways in which people decided not to be intimidated by a violent reality and exercise, to the extent possible, damage control that allowed them to recovered peace and continue their lives. they modified their habits and provided themselves with valuable information that helped them created bonds of peaceful coexistence with their peers, whether they were part of their close circle or did not belong to their family environment.
