Abstract

This paper analyzes from the ecology of human development, the contexts
in which violence occurs and how the processes of legitimation
perpetuate violence over time especially affecting children and future
generations. First, it elucidates the differences between aggression and
violence, later to define the process of legitimation from the historical
context, the community, family and mass media. Finally it is explained
how legitimating beliefs are given in infant cognition. It discusses the
psychological bases of legitimation and the mechanisms through which
it operates, including the concept of moral disengagement introduced
by Bandura.
