Abstract

By selecting this title we try to reflect the inability to generalize the conflict by crossing the various humans and question some conventions that society has assigned to "live a good life". We consider that any universal poses a usual loss of uniqueness, so we intend to argue about some "apocalypse" that cut across individual persons and groups which are then social, generational, cultural, human-universal and some of the difficulties they face to reverse the situation. A big influence is marked by what we mean by the "disappearance or death of man", according to Foucault, that, for us, comes from the hand of a forced and / or accepted intellectual impoverishment, a return to the caverns of thought where we have forgotten how to think of ourselves and how to think all humanity. We prefer to start analyzing some nearby issues before thinking about other communities that our analysis can be transferred with many reservations, considering that the situations are unique, although at first glance find common elements.
