Abstract

The disaffection, the impotence and the mistrust of the youth in Colombian institutions and democracy in Medellin are interrelated with the comprehension, experience and observation of corruption. These relationships have a symbolic content that refers to the legitimacy of the very institutions that are observed. Additionally, the impotence not only has to do with the observation of the ever growing influence of corruption within the justice system, control institutions, but also the prevalence of violence as a resource and homicide as a direct consequence of speaking up and reporting corruption. Even though a sort of pragmatic pessimism is present from as early as fifteen years old many proposals are made and alternatives are built, primarily utilizing concepts such as democracy of proximity and creativity from the everyday environment.
