The worst thing is something less positive or more harmful compared to something else.
Worse is a concept that comes from the Latin word peior . It can be used as a comparative adjective or as an adverb , according to the context. The worst, for example, is something that is less suitable or beneficial compared to something else : “I bought the new version of the soccer game, but it seemed worse than the previous one,” “These pants are of worse quality than the other one.” , “In terms of numbers, the team's current campaign is worse than last year's” .
The term worst can also be used to refer to that which is opposite to what is beneficial , what is useful or, on a broader level, what is good : “The worst thing that can happen to you is to have a boss with these characteristics” , “There is nothing worse than going on vacation and forgetting your mobile phone at home” , “Roberto is angry with me: he says that lending money to Mauricio is the worst thing he could have done” .
Concept of worst
The idea of the worst can be understood as an exacerbation of the bad : if losing a hundred dollars at the casino is bad, losing two hundred dollars is worse . What is considered the worst can also be the lowest, negative or harmful on a hypothetical scale. In this way, someone may think that filmmaker X is the worst director in the history of cinema (that is, for this person, there is no director with less talent).
The opposite notion of worse is better (the exaltation of the good or positive): “Lionel Messi is the best soccer player today” , “Nintendo is the best video game company in history” , “Mariah Carey is the best American singer-songwriter of recent times . As with the concept of "worse", there is an undeniable subjectivity when using this term in most cases.
Smoking is one of the worst habits for health.
The most dangerous prisons
For many people, going to prison represents the worst thing that could happen to them, although this does not always reflect a true notion of prison conditions. Today, thanks to various movements that try to improve the quality of life of prisoners and reduce sentences, there are more and more prisons that offer considerate treatment and study and social reintegration programs to their inmates. As can be seen below, however, this is not always the case.
Bang Kwang
Ironically, it is called the "Hilton Hotel" , although it is far from offering people a pleasant stay. It is located in Thailand and the reasons that place it on the list of the worst prisons are many: they attach iron balls to the prisoners' feet; There is not enough food and water for everyone, so survival is exclusive to the strongest; there are violent fights and murders very frequently; 25 years is the minimum sentence period for those who have the misfortune to pass through its facilities; and the death sentence affects 10% of its population.
Drapchi
In this prison in Tibet there is no terrible violence on the part of the inmates, but rather they are the victims of the dangers that hide behind its high walls. What has linked the concept of worse to Drapchi is that guards often deliberately shoot prisoners and force them to play Russian roulette.
Diyarbakir
As happens in many others, in this prison in Turkey many suicides occur by prisoners, since the conditions to which they are subjected are unbearable. There are numerous violations of their rights, among which the scarcity of food can be mentioned, and this leads many of them to take their lives in such horrible ways as burning themselves.
