Process Definition

Process Definition

The notion of process finds its root in the term of Latin origin processus . According to the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) , this concept describes the action of moving forward or going forward , over time and the set of successive stages noticed in a natural phenomenon or necessary to realize an artificial operation.

From the perspective of law , a process is the addition and assessment of written documentation in all civil or criminal cases that serves to understand and clarify the facts.

In the field of biology , the evolutionary process is understood as the continuous transformations of the species as a result of modifications developed in successive generations. In this context, biological evolution can be seen in the alteration of the allelic frequencies of a given population .

Finally, it must be said that in computing , a process is a set of procedures or functions that have one or more objectives. Computer programs and applications can execute more than one process simultaneously, aided or not by a processor with multiple cores . This way of working is known as multi-threading , which comes from English and could be translated as multiple threads . An example of this can be in a game that has a process for background music, another for the drawing of its characters and scenarios and a third one for artificial intelligence.

Process in the area of ​​psychology

In the field of psychology, we speak of cognitive processes to refer to the psychological mechanisms that are linked to perception , memorization, and the capacities to attend, remember and think, which are considered fundamental in the functioning of the psyche of every human being.

In order for them to develop, the correct functioning of several areas of the brain is essential and, if any of these processes can not develop within the parameters of normality , a lesion or some type of disorder is evidenced in one of these brain regions. .

The study of cognitive processes is something implemented by modern psychology but has allowed to reach highly significant conclusions in what the understanding of the brain is concerned.

The process in the economy and industry

In the framework of the economy , we talk about the productive processto mention the transformation of inputs (inputs) into outputs (goods and services), thanks to the use of physical, technological and human resources, among others.

On the other hand, it is interesting to note that a business process is based on various logically linked activities that are carried out in order to obtain a specific business result. In this context, each business process has its own inputs, functions and outputs.

For the industry, the so-called manufacturing process or industrial process consists of putting into practice all the operations that are needed to modify the particularities of each raw material. In general, to obtain a certain product, several individual operations are required.

National Reorganization Process

To close this definition we will give the definition of the National Reorganization Process , name that was given to the military dictatorship that came to power through force in Argentina during the period from 1976 to 1983.

It began with a coup d'état where the government of María Estela Martínez de Perón was overthrown; from then on the Armed Forces went on to represent the supreme power of the country, not only choosing presidents who belonged to the organization, but also dismissing from their posts all those who were not part of it and placing there people associated with the Armed Forces .

The fundamental characteristics of this period of Argentine history were the repression that was taken to unimaginable limits, with innumerable tortures, state terrorism, crimes against humanity and endless violations of human rights. Thousands of people disappeared in the hands of the military, of which only some of them appeared, others are known to have been killed, and a large number of them are unknown.

The violence was not only on the side of the Armed Forces , but also collaborated in the massacre of the Triple A vigilante group and certain guerrilla organizations, such as the ERP (which defended the Marxist-Guevarist ideology) and Montoneros (supported Peronism).

In the economic , the process (short name with which the anti-democratic government of this period is defined) radically modified certain economic customs, imposing the neoliberal model set by the economists of the Chicago School. Some of the measures were deindustrialization and a focus on growth in the financial sector and the monopoly of land held by large landowners. During this period, poverty grew considerably , and some researchers assure that the crisis experienced later in the country was possibly a consequence of the terrible handling of the economy that was made during the military dictatorship .

The presidents who held the position during the military government were: Videla, Viola, Galtieri and Bignone .

In 1982, after having led the country to laziness, having savagely murdered innocent beings and ruining the lives of so many others, imposing force and fear as indisputable protagonists of social life, the military called for elections. Seeing that their power was increasingly weakening and that they would not manage to stay in command for much longer. It was the year 1983 when he assumed the first president of the democratic period after that nefarious period, it was Raúl Alfonsín.
