The word ineffectiveness we use it in our language when we want to express the inefficiency that a person has when acting in a specific action, or something, a machine, an institution, also when having to behave and act in a given situation.
It should be noted that this ineffectiveness or ineffectiveness may be due to various factors, including the lack of knowledge or expertise of an individual, or of a public organization to carry out an assigned task, or some technical defect, in the case of a device or machine, which is the cause for which the task or action cannot be carried out in a compliant manner.
In some situations, such is the case of public bodies, failure or a marked tendency to it is a serious problem, since the consequence is direct against the welfare and common good of those who make up the nation.
The word ineffectiveness has a common use, although, undoubtedly, its synonym for inefficiency it is even more popular.
Meanwhile, the concept that opposes the one at hand is that of effectiveness, which just proposes the opposite, the achieve the desired or expected result after the completion of a task or action. Whenever you want to achieve an objective, a goal or to reach a successful conclusion in a plan or project, it will be essential, in addition to following a series of instructions, to invest efforts. If this is not done, it will be practically impossible to achieve what is desired or proposed.
Meanwhile, in the case of failure, the investment of efforts is practically nil, either due to ignorance, negligence or directly because it is not interesting to do so.
At almost all levels of life and in various contexts, it is common for us to come across the ineffectiveness or ineffectiveness of people and also the effectiveness of both people and institutions.
