Who has social control in Latin America? Are we really turning hegemonic power systems upside down? Let's talk more about this transformation that is slowly reaching all of Latin America.

The democratization of information

First of all, we must understand that, as Nicole Pichardo says, everything communicates. That is why many countries are putting into practice a true democratization of information: opening the windows of data so that more and more people can access it, without the filter of monopolies or hegemonic systems. However, there is a decisive factor to consider: how prepared are we as a society to approach this information from a critical or objective position? How can we discern between the truly true data on the fake newsThis is a challenge that many Latin American countries still have to face.

Towards a more dynamic state of power

Being a leader in a Latin American country is not easy, we know. Even more so in a time like this, where in addition to the latest health disruptions (such as the COVID-19 pandemic), the issue of technological immediacy and overexposure to information is guiding the axes of power in Latin America. However, leaders are faced with a new question: Accepting that power is becoming dynamic and is constantly moving is a necessary strategy to understand today's societies. 

It is becoming increasingly clear that institutions (both public and private) are learning how to redistribute power. Turning one's back on reality is impossible: facing it, on the other hand, is assuming that We are human beings who transform, and which demand new positions from which power is exercised. Understanding power in Latin America is like thinking of a kind of game, where each board is different and each piece, a need to reinvent itself.

Transform or stay behind: this is an essential question not only in Latin America, but in every society. We must question which are the places from which we can We dialogue with the power systems is the first step to understanding our place in the collective and individual.
