VIOLENCE, EL SALVADOR'S DAILY BREAD.
"Three people were murdered yesterday", "an inocent dies after being caught up in gang gunfire", "a twenty-year old woman is raped in Soyapango". All of there news headlines are familiar to any salvadorean. It is no surprise that the salvadorean society has become one of the most violent in the world in the past fifteen years. Stadistics show that there is an avarage of 11 to 13 murders a day! . Although, the reasons for this wave of the violance could be many, there is one in particular may constitute the greatest factor, family disfunctionally.
The salvadorean family is suffering a great deal due in to home violence. It is common to see fathers beating up their wifes and children alike. A great number of these men abuse their families emotionality and physically, they also abuse the worst drug in El Salvador. This viscious habit was taken mnay to the grave and has hurt the economy of the family and therefore our lovely country. Although, there is so much more than we can say about family disfunctionality, we must above all srtar making the necessary canges that can hep our people..
This great deal of violence has its root in the lack of family values. There is no respect for woman's dignity. Moreover theres is no solidarity to our own flesh and blood, our children.
Unfortunality, many haven't been able to comprehend that the one source of wistom and knowledge comes from the Creator. Only God alone can help our beloved country to be what we envision. It is the only one that can change the heart of men and hence forth the head of the household, the fahter. May God have mercy opon us and help us to understand that is no political system that is going to change our society.
I want to finish with: WE HAVE TO PRAY TO OUR GOD AND ASK HIM ABOUT OUR LIVES EVERY DAY!!!
AND REMEMBER IN GOD WE TRUST...

I think, we must pray to God like you say Eliú, because, He is the only one who can protect our lives. But at the same time we should pray asking for wisdom to change the structure of violency in our country, by teaching moral values, tolerance and love to our students.
I agree with you both, we have to pray our God, but we don´t have to wait everything only for God, we have to do something, starting being in peace with orselves and after in our familes, University, work, etc.
We are teachers and it depends on us to cahnge this society, maybe we won´t do a big change on it, but we can begin doing littles things with our students, for example teaching them to show respect between classmates and teachers.
the problem of the violence is hard to get an inmediatly solution, this is the expression of 500 hundred years of violence, the indiference of the politics that We had, the unequal division of the resources,We have to think in complex solutions for a complex problem, if not things like this will happen over and over again.
Violence is everywhere! As you guys said, it is not only into pray that will have a solution and as well, it is not going to over night, but if we start little by little from our own life, from our family and friends, from our profession...the violent situation could get better -something like a grain of sand, after all mant grains of sand made a big shore isn´t it?
violence is not jus in our country worldwide we can see how violence is destroying the peace.
everybody has something of violence,then we should be better persons every day, first improve our behavior, our actions and thoughs and after that, we could find a solution for all this
