A version is the way that each person will have about the same observed fact.
Just as not all individuals are the same, nor do we think the same, it is that for example of a single fact there may be hundreds of versions, as so many people have appreciated.
Each person who observes it will appreciate it based on their experienceof him, of his way of think, among other things, and then he will create his own version of that fact or theme, which he can coincide or not with that of another, but it is worth noting that it will be its own version regardless of whether it exists agree or not.
So for example in the observation of an accident, a witness may give a version that indicates as guilty the driver of the vehicle and on the other hand another witness blame the pedestrian.
In these cases in which the versions of the same fact are opposed, it will be necessary to carry out expert tests and also obtain more witness statements to be able to elucidate which version is the one that is closest to the truth.
And we can transfer this situation to all levels, areas and events, since it is very common for everyone to have their own version of an event and that will be diametrically opposed to that of another.
In the field of journalism, it is very common that when faced with an event or situation that transcends but whose protagonists, for example, have not come out to confirm or deny it, they arise various versions and then what journalism does is make known all those versions that circulate so that people based on their knowledge and experience take the one that best suits them. closing.
Now, in this sense, many times the versions that are made public by the media are inaccurate and then it is very difficult for the protagonists to erase them from the popular imagination. The most honest thing is that the media make known when it comes to information checked with the sources and when there are versions that need to be confirmed with the interested parties.
In the art, especially in the music, in the movie theater, literature, it turns out to be a frequent practice that some musicians, authors, directors make a new interpretation for example a song or a performance already recorded or performed by another artist, usually of great renown.
