From Latin adversar\u012dus<\/em>, a adversary<\/strong> is a person<\/strong> contrary<\/strong> or enemy<\/strong>. The term is also used to name the set of subjects with these characteristics. For example: \"The mayor of San Patricio is the governor's main adversary on the road to reelection\"<\/em>, \"The British boxer was not a dangerous adversary for the local boxer\"<\/em>, \"I want to have colleagues and not adversaries in the work group\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It should be emphasized that the term adversary is widely used in politics. Thus, we speak of political adversaries to refer, for example, to the leaders of two totally opposite parties that attend the same elections and whose clear objective is to obtain the largest possible number of votes in order to win those.<\/p>\n

In this sense, it is usual that before an election through various media, mainly television, the aforementioned adversaries participate in a debate where they can not only present their programs but also where the proposals of their rival are confronted and challenged. .<\/p>\n

These debates only take place in countries where a democratic regime is established since it is considered that this is the way to enrich and favor life and coexistence in those.<\/p>\n

The best example of this type of \"televised confrontation\" between two political adversaries was the one that took place in 1960 between John Fitzgerald Kennedy, candidate of the Democratic Party, and Richard Nixon, also candidate for the Presidency of the United States for the Republican Party. . This was the first debate that was broadcast on the small screen and it stands out because it was carried out thinking that the second politician was going to literally sweep away his opponent for having little experience. However, the result was totally different from what was expected and Kennedy managed to \"win\" thanks to the careful image that he presented and he knew how to use the weapons of the medium much better. <\/p>\n

\"Adversary\"The adversary can be an individual who, due to specific situations, appears as a contrary to another person since he has opposing interests<\/strong> yours. That is the case of two tennis players<\/strong> who face in a match<\/strong>. On the court, both players will be adversaries: each one will do everything possible to stay with the victory. To win, therefore, it is necessary to oppose the rival. At the end of the match, however, these tennis players will no longer be adversaries because the sporting confrontation between the two will be over. In fact, they may even be friends and share a hotel room or dinner.<\/p>\n

In other cases, the adversaries are real enemies<\/strong> with opposite ways of life. There is no longer a specific situation that places them as adversaries, but some issue has turned them into confronting people at all times and places. It can be two mens<\/strong> that dispute the love<\/strong> of a woman<\/strong> and that they attack each other on all grounds.<\/p>\n

\"The adversary\"<\/em><\/strong>Finally, it is a French novel whose original title is \"L'adversaire\"<\/em><\/strong> and that it was written by Emmanuel Carr\u00e8re<\/strong>. This book was adapted for film by Nicole garcia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
