Initiation or conversion to baptism is carried out through baptism.
Conversion is a term originating from the Latin conversio that refers to the action and effect of converting or becoming (causing a person or thing to transform into something other than what it is in the first place).
For rhetoric , for example, conversion or epiphora is a figure that consists of using the same word at the end of two or more members of the period.
Conversion in religion
The concept is used in the field of religion to name the practice that consists of a person adopting as their own the beliefs and rituals of the community of believers to which they join . Conversion involves a rite of initiation or passage through which the convert is publicly and officially recognized as a new member of the group.
Christianization is the conversion to Christianity. Throughout history, this process has been carried out in different ways, both peaceful and violent. The initiation rite of Christianity is baptism .
Conversion to Judaism is regulated by a norm known as giur . The convert must undergo circumcision and a ritual bath, in addition to showing his understanding of the religion and accepting the obligations it imposes.
The exchange rate
Conversion can also refer to the exchange of currency or currencies , which is a financial operation that consists of exchanging money from one country (for example, Argentine pesos) for money from another (dollars, euros, etc.).
In the case of currency, achieving the best possible conversion at a given time requires various factors, the most important being time and mobility ; Many companies dedicated to currency exchange take advantage of circumstances such as being at an airport, about to board a flight and needing the money urgently. Likewise, there are often considerable differences in the rate between two given currencies, depending on the country in which the conversion is made.
Converting a currency involves exchanging it for a different currency of equivalent value.
Computing and file conversion
In computing , conversion is the transformation of computer data from one particular representation to another, which involves changing the format of bits. On the other hand, the concept refers to the adaptation of a file, generally video or audio, so that it can be reproduced in a specific program or work environment.
Despite the standardization and massification of multimedia content in digital media, we are far from a universal system in which it is possible to consume all products in a simple and direct way. Each company has its own interests and this usually leads to the creation of its own formats, incompatible with competing players; This situation is seen daily with the wide variety of audio and video file extensions, such as mp3 , aac , wmv , avi and mov .
How to go from one format to another
There are various applications capable of converting a file but, as expected, there is not a single program that masters all formats , and in addition to this, many of them do not offer very satisfactory results. The large number of tools that promise the same features and that circulate on the Internet for free makes it difficult to spot the one that really works as it should.
In general, it is best to use an open source program, since it has the support of many developers who constantly work to improve it and include all those features that users want. However, some world-famous players allow you to convert your files to secondary formats; Such is the case of iTunes, which prioritizes the use and distribution of songs in AAC , but offers their conversion to mp3 .
