many people are wondering why the press writing and visual oral Perod gives such importance to so-called heinous crimes. At the same time devoted to them and a space in the media, compared with other news that gives extremely important ethical, moral and humanitarian, is extraordinary.
Analysts have raised all sorts of causes, reasons and motives, from the most obvious (the public is galvanized with those events and uses more messages about it), to more sophisticated, such as the satisfaction of sado-masochism news consumer, which leads him to identify with perpetrators or victims crime. Unintentionally
descata any hypothesis raised in this regard, I wish, in these few lines, to emphasize certain traits that seem not sufficiently highlighted in the chronicles.
Many of these crimes involve, in many ways, kinship relations, the same range from the narrowest (father, mother, children, brothers, husband, wife, cousins, uncles etc) through the second order (father, mother, son, daughter etc) to reach the third level (eg, boyfriends, girlfriends, boyfriends, girlfriends, lovers and others.)
In principle, the question seems simple: cause horror and disgust (and therefore more attractive), crime practiced among members of the kinship relationships (alliance and affiliation), or emotional closeness, which were perpetrated by "outsiders" or between "strangers." That degree of strangeness grows relative to the proximity or distance racial, national, geographic, and others, becoming an exciting topic to determine which comes to be the "minimum" of identification or maximum extañeza that is experienced with respect to the violence that we are concerned.
not pretend that these issues are new one, on this issue have been innumerable studies, especially anthropological and psychosocial factors. However, one aspect that seems not sufficiently emphasized.
It is perhaps these dreadful crimes, dramatically highlighted by the media (and not necessarily by the so-called "brown"), remind the recipient of the news of the fragility of relations of proximity, the fundamental requirement of its care and to cultivate. But that's not all or even most important, because if within the same events can occur in such ferocity, that occur between more distant peers, not only have no dimension understandable and tolerable, but certainly should have no viable solution.
All this theater of horror about the crimes from nearby exacerbates the already difficult understanding of who is "neighbor" to which we are supposed to love alike, and like ourselves. Gregory
