Fifteenth International Conference on Interdisciplinary Social Sciences

Abstract

The current global social fabric is damaged, fragmented, and fractured in a highly complex way. A particular phenomenon of that kind is the rising of multiple ideologies that go from the sectarian to the really extreme and which addressed multiple social realities and that are more intensely expressed through social networks. Flagging real and valid social problems, in some cases these ideologies have become radical and violent, supporting their arguments with pseudo-intellectualisms that in most cases lack real logic support. This situation has spread around the world but has had a particular boom in the case of Latin America. In this sense, the problem is stated as a techno-antropo-social one and because of that it is addressed through a systems theory framework accompanied by a conceptual interpretation of the mathematical theory of fuzzy logic as an essential component for the understanding of such ideological extremisms. A theoretical approach is then proposed which, based on specific propositions, describes the problem of social rupture from the perspective of ideologies. These points can be summarized as: a) overwhelming data, b) diffusion of logic, c) systemic thinking absence and d) technopopulism. The article is stated from a latinamerican reality analysis but could be extended to a more general social framework for a strengthening of society and the construction of the community in order to generate new forms of social interaction that could be more peaceful and beneficial for the entire holistic system.
