The word palliate is a verb which is used to refer to those actions through which it is sought to limit, reduce or combat certain phenomena or situations. Normally, the word palliate is related to the search end to negative circumstances, such as when it is used to say that "it seeks to alleviate the hunger world".

According to common usage, the word palliate means to put an end to something or to fight against it. The term is recurrent in situations in which a certain foresight is given and preparation before the search to put an end to what one wants to stop. In this sense, the term palliate is not common when something stops spontaneously or without anyone having generated it, for example when a streak of unsafety and of violence. If it is terminated by the planned and planned action of the corresponding actors, we can talk about the fact that they alleviated insecurity and violence, but not if it does not end with that mode.

As said, the word is normally used to refer to situations or phenomena that are negative for daily life and represent different types of dangers, threats or complications. Thus, we cannot say that "it was sought to alleviate the

joy"since in this case we would not be talking about a negative or dangerous object. This is so because the notion of palliating means attacking, ending something that should not have been present for any reason. It is normal to find this term when talking about situations that are harmful to society, for example when talking about hunger, misery, illiteracy, of different types of diseases, insecurity, etc. And in those cases, the palliative action is an action that always falls to the responsible officials and politicians.
