The idea of insertion can be linked to the integration of people into society.
Insertion is the act and result of inserting or inserting . The verb insert refers to introducing or including , while insertir refers to injerir (graft, insert).
The notion of insertion, therefore, can appear in different contexts and with different meanings, although similar to each other. In the field of sociology , for example, it is common for the idea of social insertion to appear.
What is social insertion
Social insertion is understood as the integration of a subject or a group of individuals into society . Those who live "outside" the community do not enjoy support mechanisms, do not have the same rights as the rest and, sometimes, do not share the same values.
Suppose a person is born into extreme poverty and never goes to school. In this way, not only do you suffer from the violation of your rights, but it will also be impossible for you to progress. To achieve their social insertion, the State must provide them with assistance and facilitate access to resources that allow them to integrate and develop their potential.
Comparison with animals
In an ideal society, the concept of insertion should not exist, since all citizens would enjoy the same resources and rights. If we take a look at the rest of the species, we will notice that they organize themselves in a much fairer way than we do, especially because each individual seems to receive what he deserves once he reaches adulthood and begins to be part of his group as a pair. In nature there do not seem to be privileges or favors as we can see in the human world: each person must prove his worth to earn the respect of his companions, both his peers and his superiors.
If the same thing happened in our societies, there would not be the imbalance that so characterizes them, with extremes of poverty and wealth, children who are deprived of a healthy and happy childhood living in the same country as those who are born in "a cradle of gold".
When someone was imprisoned and regains their freedom, they usually face difficulties in reintegrating into the community.
The importance of reintegration
Social reintegration , meanwhile, aims to reincorporate into society those who were deprived of their liberty for having committed a crime. This reintegration must begin to be encouraged in prison so that, upon completing their sentence, the former inmate has the necessary tools to stay within the margins of the law, find employment, etc.
It is very important to point out that prisoners often experience situations that demoralize them on a daily basis, which undermine their desire to reform and start a new life, and these can ruin any effort to achieve social reintegration. The prison is no different from the rest of the State agencies in terms of the degree of corruption that can take place in its operation: although it is presented as a space where criminals receive the tools to become better people, capable of respecting the laws and the rules of coexistence once they complete their sentences, reality is usually far from this premise.
We must emphasize, on the other hand, that the prison is not a single person, a single ideology, but rather that several groups act in it simultaneously and, in the best of cases, organically, each one providing the inmates with different resources that They should help them accept their mistakes, understand why they have made them, and be able to walk a path of justice in the future. This means that corruption can take place in only a part of the staff, although it negatively affects the rest and threatens any attempt at social reintegration.
Job insertion and professional insertion are other types of insertion that, although linked to social insertion, are related to more specific issues.
