In this paper we support the idea that politics as a system can generate important structural shocks and changes. Politics has long been associated, or even identified with violence. We must highlight the idea that political violence is not a new problem, only that it has been widely reflected by scientists since the 20th century and is mainly due to the events that marked the last century – wars, revolutions, massacres and world terrorism, which have constantly attacked human security. The political violence Europe faces today is to a certain degree surprising for the 21st century, at least for the countries that have gone through World War II, as well as suffered from repressive political regimes or many terrorist aggressions. However, this has not prevented armed conflicts and the topic of violent political objectives. Nevertheless, despite the hardships of political violence, research suggests remarkable strength and resilience within individuals and communities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
