The general director of AMITAI, Fernando Senties, says that Mexico is the country that most justifies violence.



«What it means is that we Mexicans France Mobile Number List justify it as a way to resolve our differences in a more normal way than in other countries. “This is reflected in social interaction, this is how we solve problems on the street, and it seems that this is the only way to solve our disagreements . ”



Using violence to solve problems is common among Mexicans, and this is reflected in the high percentage achieved in the study. As if that were not enough, Mexico also stands out in areas such as theft, bribery and fraud.

Violence in Mexico

The country has the highest percentage of justification for violence, followed by loyalty (%), social order (%) and fraud (%).



Regarding corruption, Mexico is not in the first places, it is at on Transparency International's Corruption Perception Index.





This is because the survey seeks to know the justification of the acts and not the perception. "Also, in the case of this problem, it is only compared with Latin American countries, and not with places like Finland and Norway, better positioned in the IT ranking."



There are countries in Latin America that are more corrupt, well, it is not that they are more corrupt, because that is not what we measure, but how they justify corruption. There are countries where people justify it more, such as Ecuador, and other places where they do so to a lesser extent, such as Costa Rica.



To have more concrete results, AMITAI decided to compare the results obtained in other indices, such as the Corruption and Peace Perception Index, in which it found that its survey has a correlation of % with the first and % in the first. second.



“ We find correlations with these indices that explain the results at the country level, through the justification that people give,” explains Senties.

"Or for example in the case of sexual harassment, they found that Peru had a reduction in its trend, which coincided with the fact that they had introduced this crime into their Penal Code."



For these reasons, it is necessary to carry out awareness campaigns from official education systems to training programs in government and companies. "We believe that for Mexico to begin to improve, specifically regarding companies, it must take these studies more seriously and begin to implement actions."
