Abstract

Social processes have dynamics not always fully understood by those who experience them. Indeed, the complexity of these processes leads the political and social actors to what in psychology is called the "tunnel effect," that is, seeing only what they want to see, which does not reflect the whole idea into a holistic point of view that allows seeing the mutual interactions between the different areas in a specific period of time. They often overlook the dynamics with regard to past and future times (Hunneus 2000).
