Armor concept

The word armor comes etymologically from the Latin word "armor" that designated in hand-to-hand fighting, typical of combat until the appearance of firearms, the metal coatings, which for defensive purposes, the contestants placed on their bodies, including the head, which they protected with helmets, chest armor, and leather boots.

At first they were made entirely of leather and then they used metals, which offered more security and resistance .

The hoplites that made up their heavy infantry among the Greeks were equipped with a helmet, cuirass, leg greaves, a wooden shield with a metal edge and several layers of leather, a pointed wooden spear, and a short double-edged sword.

Roman legions protected themselves with a large shield, short sword, and pike.

Medieval knights also covered their bodies with metal armor, generally made of steel. From the 14th century, the so-called plate armor arose, which covered the contestant almost completely, including the throat that was covered with the gorget, while the head was completely enclosed in a helmet. The chest was covered with a breastplate.

However, the armor made movements clumsy, even more, the heavier, as well as expensive, which is why they stopped being used since the appearance of the longbow, and since the fourteenth century when the cannon began to be used.

In Architecture, the pieces that cling to each other, generally made of wood or iron, are called armor in order to support some considerable weight, for example those that support a roof.

Concept of Areopagus

Etymologically the word Areopagus is Greek. It comes from "areios" whose meaning is "mount, hill or pagus of Ares", Ares being the God of war for the Greeks (Mars for the Romans) with a violent spirit.

It was the Areopagus, in Ancient Athens, its High Court, which functioned west of the Athenian acropolis . At first, its members, the eupatrids or nobles, were dependent on the monarch, but later when the aristocracy was able to achieve power around the year 950 before the Christian era, they were made up judges for life, counselors, whose number was thirty-one, and it was made up of the archons, nobles who exercised power for a year, and who then went on to serve on this council when their term ended. The matters within its competence were of a criminal nature, control of the activity of magistrates and legal interpretation and control of compliance.

Solon's reforms, with the creation of a 400-member council with broad powers, made up of the three classes with the greatest contributive capacity, reduced the powers of the Areopagus, which became the guardian of laws and customs. With Cleisthenes 570-507 BC. C) they lost even more influence , because when trying to establish citizen equality through a democratic system, their functions were reduced to dealing with criminal cases. Starting in the year 487 BC, the members of the Areopagus were selected by lot. Effective power remained in the hands of the Popular Assembly.

Currently, the concept has been extended to name meetings of people well versed in certain topics, and for this reason we speak of medical, literary, artistic areopagus, etc.

Argentina concept

Argentina is a country in South America, located in the south of the continent , whose Latin name "argentum" means silver, since that metal is what the Spaniards supposed they would find in quantities in that region.

It is a country with a great diversity of climates, although it is generally temperate, with many forms of life and relief, due to its large territorial extension (the second in South America, after Brazil) with 2,780,400 km² without including the Malvinas Islands, neither the Antarctic sector nor the islands of the South Atlantic.

It is a democratic state (although it had to tolerate several coups throughout its history, the cruelest being that of 1976) that constitutionally adopted a representative, federal, and republican form of government, being divided into twenty-three provinces. , plus the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, which is recognized as the Federal Capital, where the national authorities reside.

On May 25, 2010, this country will celebrate the bicentennial of the revolution that took place on May 25, 1810, where it consecrated its first national government.

Argument concept

The word argucia was derived from the Latin word "argutia", in turn from the verb "arguere", in the sense of arguing or arguing, leaving something clear, although in the case of argucia, the arguments are false and expressed with ingenuity. so that they are credible.

They are synonymous with cunning: ruse, ruse, artifice, trap, deceit, lie, lie, hoax and falsehood.

The purpose of deceit is to deceive for various purposes: to attract clients or voters, to defraud financially or sentimentally, to avoid a conviction, to obtain a favor, to justify a bad deed, and so on. Ingenuity, mischief and planning are required to be effective.

The consequences are always negative, since what is achieved through trickery or lies is never worthy of approval, although the seriousness will depend on the ends to be obtained. If a child uses a trick to get a treat, a toy or a ride, it will be something natural and just an age-appropriate mischief, but if it is used by an adult to take advantage of other people, it is serious, especially when it harms them to a degree considerable in your physical or mental health; or, in his property.

Examples of use: "With his cunning, the young delinquent managed to get the old woman to open the doors of her house for him, and once inside, he took away all his possessions", "The boy used all his cunning, which included crying, begging and promises, so that his father would buy him the toy", "The lawyer, through a legal trick, managed to have the process annulled and his client was released, despite having a lot of evidence that incriminated him", "With tricks, the politician managed to convince the public that he would be a brilliant ruler, and once he took power he disappointed everyone”, “He convinced with his tricks that he was selling a miraculous product to cure a serious illness, and seriously affected the health of many" or "He achieved promotion, using as a trick, to sow distrust among his co-workers."

Undoubtedly, it is in politics where trickery is used as something almost normal to achieve the legitimacy necessary to reach power or stay in it. Since ancient Greece, the sophists taught the art of oratory, intended to convince, to achieve the acceptance of the proposals, based on expressing themselves fluently and not too clearly, but as they usually say, "talking a lot, but saying little bit".

In Advertising , the tricks to attract customers are also accepted by the recipients, as something typical of commercial practice, and the company that promises certain "miracles" cannot be condemned for said promises, which are known to be only tricks to attract buyers. Example: "I bought a soap that says it will restore my skin to the smoothness of 20 years, although I know it is a trick, I bought a beautiful illusion."
