Abstract
This paper analyzes from the ecology of human development, the con-texts in which violence occurs and how the processes of legitimation perpetuate violence over time especially affecting children and future generations. First, it elucidates the differences between aggression and violence, later to define the process of legitimation from the historical context, the community, family and mass media. Finally it is explained how legitimating beliefs are given in infant cognition. It discusses the psychological bases of legitimation and the mechanisms through which it operates, including the concept of moral disengagement introduced by Bandura.
