The violence is in the illusion. However, the identity is also a dark side. The identity can kill and engender hatred artistically. This is because a strong sense of belonging to a group simultaneously creates a gap compared to other groups. This gap can become antagonism and conflict very easily driven by individuals instigators. Thus, "the internal solidarity of a group can help to fuel the discord between groups." How to understand the identity Regarding the idea of identity are often committed two types of reductionist approaches. The first is to be indifferent to the idea itself. Much of the economic theories do considering individuals as islands that do not pay attention to anything other than themselves. Thus, in our courses in Economics I was unaware of the idea that the decisions of an individual are subject to the decisions of others. The second is the singular affiliation. Much of the thinkers and political theorists use these arguments. Even those who seek to employ instigating violence during riots. A particular classification may generate a reasonable sense of identity according to specific social circumstances. Thus, the existence of some identities can be very ephemeral and contingent. For example, often result in a Peruvian identity curious about football, food, or when there is a problem with Chile. However, it is a bit strong identity and often does not last more than a few days. Michael Sandel said: "The community describes not only what its members have, but what they are. Do not choose a relationship but who discover an attachment. Not simply an attribute, but what is their identity. " However, in Peru the problem is not only discover an identity as the identity of any community must, above all, sought and won. In sum, we have substantial freedom with respect to what priority to give them the identities of which are a part. However, there are strong components such as nationality, sex or religion that this conditional release without eliminating it. Confinement in civilization Globalization and voice The author of a statement of reality: the expectation of creating unaidentidad global moral force is perceived by many as a failure because of the enormous inequalities observed in globalization in terms of asymmetry resources around the world. Thus, in our country inequality is not only quite widespread, but also state policies are not aimed at changing this situation. It is well that the disadvantaged population is receiving fewer benefits from public spending.
