| Spanish term or phrase: coaccion | Hello all - this is from a text on violence in Latin America
"La violencia, desde el punto de vista microestructural, puede ser abordada como el ejercicio de la coaccion interpersonal en encuentros de diversa naturaleza que, en funcion de valores, situaciones o percepciones de los actors envueltos en el encuentro, generan respuestas de diversa intensidad y consecuencias, pero que se traducen, en todo caso, en una conducta impetuosa con intencion de causar dano.”
How do we feel about 'coaccion'? Coercion? Compulsion?
My try was:
From a microstructural perspective, violence can be regarded as the exercise of interpersonal coercion in encounters of a diverse nature that, as a function of values, situations or perceptions of the actors involved in the encounter, generate responses of diverse intensities and consequences, but that translate, in all cases, into impetuous behaviour with the intention of causing damage.
Please let me know if that sounds reasonable! Thank you! |
