The concept of anonymous has several uses in our language.
Unidentified person
The names that we carry identify us in front of others not only in the social plane but also also in the legal, since no one can exist legally if she is not properly identified with a name and surname.
This situation is not only a right of people but is also a responsibility that we must fulfill before the law, so that if appropriate, respond to those acts that attempt against it.
The one who remains anonymous is not that he has no name, he does, but he keeps it hidden for some reason.
Literature: work that does not present the name of an author
In theliteratureis named anonymous to that work that does not state the name of its author.
“It is a very good and anonymous novel.”
Anonymous works do not always have a known author, as some may be the result of a tradition, from an oral or direct diffusion, the author is unknown because the information that he accredits the identity of the same she was hidden with intention or lost.
Person who for some reason does not make himself known until he achieves a goal
On the other hand, the word anonymous is used at the request of having to designate that person with an unknown name, who acts in front of others but does not want to make himself known for some reason.
“I have an anonymous admirer in the office.”
In this precise example and use of the term, a person may want to remain anonymous as strategy of conquest of a woman he likes, in this way he can send her flowers, gifts of any kind, in order to go winning her favor and her interest, and then when he knows that she is surrendered at her feet he will reveal her true identity.
Written that does not bear the signature of anyone and that is usually left with a threat motivation
The other use of the term refers to writing that a person who does not want to reveal her identity leaves in a place with different intentions: to give a special message to someone, with the intention of intimidating a person, among other alternatives.
“ Juan received an anonymous letter saying that his wife is cheating on him with a coworker.”
By case is that whoever sends the anonymous one usually does it at some time that he has studied there will be no one who can see or recognize him.
You can also do it in complicity with another person who alerts you about when is the best time to quit.
And another ritual issue of these anonymous is that they are made on paper and cut letters are used from the newspapers or magazines, or any other publication in order to prevent someone from writing and being able to trace their lyrics.
Will be called anonymity to the status of an anonymous person, that is, it is an unknown person.
Someone may remain anonymous for various reasons: because no one has asked you to reveal his identity, because it is an occasional encounter with strangers, or because the person directly does not want to reveal his identity.
This situation of non-disclosure of identity may have to do with the fact that the person is involved in an illegal act, or because there is a circumstance of force greater that prevents him from making himself known, such is the case of a witness with a private identity or a secret agent.
Because of course, if their identities were known, they would be in a situation of high risk for their lives, exposed in front of everyone and could not carry out their work, for example in the case of police officers secrets or intelligenceIf you know who they really are, they will not be able to satisfactorily carry out their work, especially if they are infiltrated in a criminal organization. In this situation, the person's life could also be at risk because if he is discovered by the criminals he is investigating, they will surely want to eliminate him.
