It starts from an exploratory analysis of security and its importance for human beings, to an analysis of security approaches: public, citizen and human. This is an essay that seeks to put into conversation ideas about security, the aporias of the present and the problems of citizens in Latin America (the most violent region and with the greatest perception of insecurity in the world). In the end, the need to build a security concept for this region is put on the table, which considers all its problems, but also its virtues.
