The term removal is used to refer to any act that has to do with removing something from its place. The removal can be carried out with respect to objects or elements as well as people from a position or a position in which they are normally found.
The word removal comes from the act of removing. To remove is precisely to remove or remove something from its place, regardless of whether it is replaced by another or not. Removal can occur, as stated before, on an object (for example, a painting that is removed from a wall) as well as on a person (for example, a director who is removed by another). In some cases removal may be simple while in others it may take a long time (for example, when an institution must re-accommodate a new leader or when, for example, a stain cannot be easily removed from a fabric).
Obviously, the term gains greater importance at the institutional, legal or political level when we talk about the removal of a person from a position to which they were assigned. Removal in this sense can mean a great conflict because many times it occurs based on acts of corruption or political ideological differences that are not very clear. Thus, the act of removing someone from office can become harsh and not very fair.
Removal at the political level usually involves quite significant damage to the image of the person who is removed from office. This is so because all officials have a public image to maintain and in this way that image would collapse if they start talking about their ineffectiveness or, even worse, their corruption. When this same situation occurs, for example, in a company or in any other type of institution, the damage to the person is also evident because although the person is not a public figure that may be affected, he does maintain a presence within the institution to which he belongs and will probably have to answer for the act due to which he is removed from the position or position.
