It is a mechanism of individual self-regulation and social regulation that requires citizens to achieve a certain harmony between respect for the law, moral convictions and cultural traditions and conventions. [2] The notion of a culture of legality is therefore linked to the principles that people have in relation to the law and the bodies responsible for its application. These values are reflected in the behaviour of people who may or may not be bound by what is established by the legal system. In addition, we cannot neglect the fact that the culture of legality is also the term that characterizes a web space in Mexico, which has as a clear objective the promotion of the above culture and the fight against crime. This website attempts to achieve the above two goals in specific areas such as government, business or the school sector. When we talk about legality, we are referring to the whole system of laws and norms that has been explicitly but also implicitly established in a society to organize daily life and regulate different situations. The culture of legality is therefore the set of traditions, values, attitudes and forms that characterize a society and bring it closer or not to the respect of these laws. The culture of legality of a community can vary over time, depending on the different events or events that take place inside or outside the social group. For example, it is common to think that the culture of legality of the first decades of the twentieth century in many communities was much stronger than that of the last decades of the same century. This project stems from the need to promote observation and sympathy for the rule of law as a common denominator in investigations conducted by the Commission and the Public Prosecutor`s Office.
Similarly, in the expressions of society that spread more widely during the 2015 protests, one could argue that the main demand of Guatemalan society is respect for the rule of law as an act of citizenship. The concept of a culture of legality is a concept used to refer to the attitude of a society or community towards its group of norms, laws and rules. The culture of legality is the degree of adaptation or agreement that the members of this community have with the laws and therefore leads the whole community to take a profile more or less close to legality.

Mayor of Bogotá, D.C. The ideal is that the culture of legality develops on solid principles that are acceptable to the population. If the individual realizes that respect for the law is not even possible or that laws can even be violated without consequences, this culture is undermined. It is therefore assumed that respect for the rule of law is not so important for the functioning of society. In theory, the law is the same for all members of a community: its mandates, obligations and restrictions must be respected by all citizens, regardless of their social or economic status. However, this usually does not happen. On the other hand, there are laws that people may consider unjust, which affects the culture of legality, which should act as a form of self-regulation. We hope that the information will be useful to identify areas of opportunity and get to work to build a true culture of legality in Mexico Legality, on the other hand, is the property of the legal, that is, what is in accordance with the law, and which is in accordance with current legislation. The right weighting of each axis is explained by the model of action through competences, which we promote in MUCD in order to promote a culture of legality, because civil society and legal measures concern both the knowledge of laws and norms of coexistence and the ability of people to act. There are perspectives that see the culture of legality as a form of submission and conformism by accepting what is in the laws without taking into account the fact that they are imposed by power groups. [Citation needed] These perspectives stipulate that the rules or obligations of coexistence are important, that in order to be legitimate, they must be agreed directly or by mutual agreement between citizens who undertake to respect these agreements between them; Therefore, it is indicated that U or laws, even if they are presented as indispensable or legal, because it has no value if they are not legitimate.
