Johan Galtung and school violence

Abstract

This text propose a debate about violence and education based in J. Galtung’s theory of violence. First, the main characteristics of said theory are presented in the concept of direct, structural and cultural violence. After and based on this theory I propose one specific features of phenomenology of violence at education institution to propose in third section some facilitation guideline of work to do in relation to violence in school. I defend that violence is one strategy stemmed from incapability dialog, disrespect of professional authority, transfer of family problems to school, conflict among different cultural traditions and presence of excessive of bureaucratic and formal rules.
