Conclusion

• In conclusion, I can say that although in the past there have been multiple armed conflicts, they used to be very short until, for multiple reasons, these FARC, EPL, M19 and many more groups were created, which has caused many deaths and displacement, in conclusion a war that has bled to the country for more than 50 years
• When carrying out the work the synonym of a phrase A better country and a free country for all Colombians is the objective that the armed groups seek with such an absurd problem and they do not realize that the only thing they are doing is destroying the country and deteriorating the quality of life of citizens thus provoking the contempt of society and the underdevelopment of our nation.
• For political, economic and social reasons, Colombia is currently experiencing one of the worst moments in terms of violence. Citizens' reports include almost 50 assassinations by the authorities, which have transformed the reason for the marches and the national strike in Colombia.

Suggestions

• The recognition and respect of thehuman rights and international humanitarian law by of the different armed actors. In this sense, they must be found mechanisms that allow the real exclusion of the civilian population from armed conflict so that a neutrality is respected that until now, has been raped by the army, the guerrillas and the paramilitaries
• My suggestion to the armed conflict in Colombia is that the government and the armed groups should end this conflict since if neither of them are gaining anything, the only thing that increases is only the deaths.
• My suggestion is that the government should sit down and talk with the armed groups in order to peacefully agree on a solution that benefits all sides.
• What can be done is a project which brings closer dialogue between the people involved in the strike and the government in order to become aware of the current situation.

Predictions

• I visualize myself about 30 years from now and the thoughts come to me that the country will be in the future based on the armed conflict and I usually hope that at that time the armed conflict has ended.
• I visualize myself in a few years and I believe that the country will advance as it opens better governments and that will make the country advance and who knows it will become a power
• In order to have perspectives in this regard, he tends to compare the Colombian process with other advanced agreements, especially at the regional level. However, this resulting comparison is insufficient due to the particular characteristics of the Colombian conflict, which makes it necessary to review experiences in other parts of the world.
• What can happen from now on will be damage at the social level, since the government's lack of capacity to solve problems causes resentment among the people.

Opinions

• (PITER ANGULO):My point of view the armed conflict is something critical since I think that this problem is based on something illogical, that alone, causes misery, destruction and causes in the minds of all those affected a psychological problem capable of destroying the lives of human beings
• (CHARLIE RIASCOS):From my point of view, the conflict in our country has always been the way things are resolved, although before it used to be fought for freedom or for rights, these were reasons, from my point of view, they are not bad and now the Almargen groups of the law I do not know if what their fight is or why they fight
• (JUAN ACRDENAS):In my opinion the government throughout history has abused power and they are the main culprits that this conflict has not been solved since they never accepted their guilt
• (ANDRES MOSQUERA): The current violence caused by unemployment leads to disagreement in different areas since for this reason the unemployment is prolonged and prevents people from continuing with their activities, such as going to work.
