Impassiveness is an attitude that the person assumes and that consists of a lack of emotion, apathy or perhaps a little indifference to everything that happens around him. The impassive person has the ability to prevent any external stimulus from affecting their mood. Really this kind of people, walk through life in a "neutral" way, where nothing seems to alter it.
When an individual is unfazed by what happens in his environment and does not try to find a way to modify that situation, renouncing what he could become, contribute or modify in his environment, he is in some way sending a distorted message to others, since this attitude the only thing that expresses is that anyone can do whatever they want because they are not really interested, they will not lift a single finger to change it.
For example, if a young man comes and takes a sweet from another and sees that he does nothing to defend himself, the first young man over time will no longer take one or two, he will take away whatever he wants, since he knows not they will do nothing to you. This will establish a behavior where some will be subjected by others, a situation that over time will be a bit difficult to change.
Any bond of submission between individuals, whether family, work, school, couple, politics, etc. When one of them shows an impassive behavior towards what happens to him, he is sending a message to the other, that he can continue to act as he has done since there will be no consequences. All these relationships are progressively structured, consolidating an evident instability of power, among those who want to dominate, either through violence, blackmail, etc. And the weak assumption that tolerates, agrees and allows that unbalanced relationship.
