This essay is within the Peace, Conflicts and Development Studies field. It is a descriptive and explicative study that intends to show: a) the influence of mass media communications in the violation of freedom of thought and of conscience today; b) the influence of National Security in the increase of the violence and c) the relation between the freedom of thought and of conscience as a Human Right and the Human Security as a new way to protect the individual from challenges that threaten him directly. The main objective is to analyze how this interaction could help to power and to increase both conceptions for human development.
