What is Threat:
It is known as threat to the imminent danger, which arises, from an event or event that has not yet happenedbut that if what was said was going to happen comes to fruition, said circumstance or fact will harm one or more people in particular.
For example of the above, when it is said that we are under a threat of an earthquake or tsunami, however, it also serves so that the recipient(s) of said threat can be warned and alert to make the most appropriate decisions to face said fact or event. , since people, being in an alert situation, can think about what should be done if the event of which they were threatened comes to pass.
It is a term that serves to refer to the risk or possible danger of a specific situation occurring, and which in turn generates fear, anxiety or a state of alert in the person or people who were threatened, which we can define as psychological abuse. , since the individual or individuals who were threatened may suffer disorders from it, which is a specific type of violence that is often punishable by law.
In the day-to-day life of our society, and in the most everyday life, living together is something that is not an easy task, which is why problems and conflicts often arise between neighbors, cohabitants, and even the family itself that lives in the same house, Hence, problems may occur in which an individual can threaten another to instill fear in this individual and thus maintain psychological control over it, with the promise that if the problem continues, a violent fact or event may occur such as a misfortune, for example. For example, when a neighbor listens to loud music and doesn’t let anyone sleep and one of the neighbors calls him and threatens to call the police.
Types of threats
There are several types of threats, for example formal threatswhich are less serious ones, those that can occur on a daily basis, such as threatening a child not to do something forbidden otherwise he or she will be punished for it, or those more real or more dangerouswhich may arise from a natural event, or a terrorist attack threat carried out by a group of extremists, what is really common between these different types of threat is that it always creates a psychological state of fear or anxiety due to the possibility of said threat materializing.
Within the types of threats we also have those that are conditionalssince so that the feared event does not occur, the recipient is asked to comply with a condition and keep everything calm, as is the case when a kidnapper asks for money so as not to harm the kidnapped person, on the other hand there is the unconditional threatsince there is no condition to meet, such as in the case of an earthquake threat.
This is why the threat is a misdemeanor or crime.since the person who threatens, promises a bad future, illicit, imposed and determined with the objective of causing fear, anxiety and fear to the person who is threatened, which evidently affects their state of psychological balance, with which they can be forced to act in a certain way or take some action that is required of them by the person who threatened them.
Health threat
In most cases when we refer to a health issue, the life of the person or patient is always affected, for example when there is a threat of abortion, it is because the life of the fetus is at risk and may also be in danger. endangers the life of the mother, which makes the monitoring and control of the pregnancy much more careful and cautious to ensure the lives of both prevail.
We can also cite the example of the threat of premature birth, and it is nothing more than the risk that may exist that the baby may be born before the “normal” time, which means that rigorous monitoring must be maintained in the event of this possibility of premature birth.
Occupational health threat
It refers to the threat that a worker may suffer due to the tasks and functions he or she performs in his or her job. This may be a physical or mental threat, for example, someone who works or performs his/her work duties is directly exposed to electricity in the workplace. An electrical substation will always have a threat of suffering an electric shock that can cause death or serious injury, which is a psychological threat, just as a worker who works in a nuclear plant knows that his duties and functions must be very careful and strict, since there is a threat of a nuclear accident or tragedy, which can affect the lives not only of him but of hundreds or millions of people.
Threat in IT
Nowadays, it is very common to hear that there are threats against any type of digital information or against the computer systems of a website or some important company, and even governments themselves, which means that you may be under a threat from a cyber attack by hackers or crackers, which can affect the privacy of those threatened or which can reveal files, photos, documents or information that may be confidential or purely private, which can harm the people who may suffer in many ways. said threats at the time they materialize.
It is for this reason that there is continuous preparation and development of methods and actions to avoid being so vulnerable to possible cyber attacks by the large operating systems and application companies in the world.
