Concept in Definition ABC

Relevance is the quality of something (a fact or a few words) when it connects with a general situation. It is relevant if a specific proposal is related to the subject being discussed. On the contrary, a proposal is not relevant if it is not related to the general context.

In the development of a trial there is evidence that is valid, useful and related to the reason of the case. On the other hand, the judges dismiss some evidence because they consider that it is not pertinent and has no validity, since it violates the legal norms that must be fulfilled in a trial.

To affirm that an action has relevance is to accept it, initially, as appropriate and correct. The idea of ​​relevance implies adequacy with the facts. There is a connection between the particular and the general.

To consider that an opinion has relevance is to recognize that it has validity, since it has some suitable characteristic. Thus, something can be relevant because it fits well with a situation and, at the same time, not be supported by other people. Suppose a person is in a neighborhood meeting to propose ideas that improve the

cleaning of the community. This individual proposes a new cleaning schedule. Your input is totally relevant. Then the neighbors vote and reject the idea of ​​the time change. This example shows that relevance is simply a formal requirement. It is an idea, proposal or test that meets a necessary condition: it has coherence with the moment and the subject being addressed.

If someone says something inappropriate and inappropriate, he can be considered impertinent. Impertinence is provocative, rude and respectful behavior.

Relevance and impertinence would be synonymous with valid and invalid, respectively. We need to understand each other in our communication and it is necessary to establish certain rules so that the understanding is effective. In some social contexts (meetings, trials, debates... ) it is necessary to establish a procedure for action. It is a way to avoid clutter in the participation. In these contexts there are often responsible people who oversee the compliance of the rules. They are the ones who determine what is relevant and what is not. They act as arbitrators so that the development of an act respects the regulation correspondent.
