The NIM Games

undoubtedly are developed under different social relations between individuals throughout the history of mankind, the imposition by force is being replaced by reason and conviction, well, has gained the philosophy of force "rather convincing win" where the parties must negotiate. This negotiation can occur in many areas: in the classroom, at work, on the bus, in a restaurant, just to name a few, and the actors involved in it can be of different races, religious beliefs or political affiliations, the couples, families, neighbors, nations through treaties or alliances, peace processes or at war, in short, at all levels and in many cases, negotiation is evident in others, tacitly and imperceptible, but the truth is that part of our daily life and living.

on to internalize the importance of any issue is always necessary to understand its origins, its proponents, its premises and doctrines, its scope and so many other ingredients, we are able to delve into the importance of the current issue. Of course, in the case of negotiation have been written hundreds of books, articles or short essays, philosophical concepts apply it to specific fields such as management, politics, family, the right in all specialties, and also education, understood as a process that seeks the transfer of knowledge and skills that will enable us to social mobility, strengthen peace and democracy, and However, we provide the knowledge necessary to be a cultured country out of underdevelopment and so that we ankylosed, but this only serves to highlight the importance of negotiation in any process.

To highlight the importance of the above, we will discuss two areas in which addresses this issue.

First, you can observe how our country has been separated from the rest of Central America in different scenarios and thus reached levels in education, health, citizen participation, among others, higher than other countries. Much of this is that our leaders have learned with ups and downs, listen to popular clamor and needs. Except for the brief Tinoco dictatorship (1917-1919) and for a few weeks in the year 1948 due to the revolution in 1889 began a democracy in Costa Rica that has been maintained to date, where even the negotiation and pact, as they had read Machiavelli with his phrase "The covenants are made when necessary and when needed break" between the Catholic Church with Monsignor Sanabria, Manuel Mora Communist Party and the Liberation Army led by Joseph Figueres, form a trivium unthinkable at this time and gives the basis for the birth of the Second Republic. Surplus say that the vision of "Don Pepe" about the army that brought him to power and its Abolition, written in capital letters, the December 1, 1948, is what shapes the Costa Rica of the new millennium, where all local women , are sure that their son will never be a soldier and where it is possible to allocate more money to education, health and general, to meet the basic needs of Costa Ricans. Even Costa Rica is the only country where it was decided to approve a free trade agreement in a referendum, as the highest expression of popular will.

The mere
fact live in a democracy, where the law protects journalists, where they can move freely, where they breathed in every corner of individual freedom, is that in this beautiful country, we have a culture of negotiation, all level and has criticized the tax to make room for reconciliation, where negotiation is important for the successful completion of any dispute.

The second point, our country is the product of constant negotiation between different generations, where the old go bowing to the plight of the new, where the global has become local without imposing this finally disappear, in some so you start with coining the term glocal mutant where about rescuing our Latin American culture. In this context of a globalized world in which Costa Rica is involved, where the problems and disagreements are part of our daily lives, it is necessary to learn and know the methods and skills that enable solutions quickly, effectively and harmonic conflicts, especially if we are educators of children and youth, the future of our country, or we are in charge of running an educational institution, which are not party to a number needed to resolve conflict. For our purposes, conflicts are situations in which two or more people come into opposition or disagreement because their positions, interests, needs, desires or values \u200b\u200bare incompatible. The relationship between the parties to the conflict can be strengthened or weakened depending on how is the process of resolving these where negotiation is fundamental.

Since 2002, our country implemented a national plan for prevention and treatment of violence, which integrates some of the efforts and actions that the Ministry of Education develops around problem of violence and responds to the urgent need for policies, guidelines and new shares to address the phenomenon in a systematic, comprehensive and continuing at various levels and instances of Costa Rican education system, in coordination with other state agencies. This plan aims to promote the educational system and a new culture of relations and peace and the recognition and protection of the rights of those involved in education to reduce their vulnerability to abuse and to develop attitudes and life skills through various action strategies and teaching methods.

Teachers are committed to promoting Education for Peace in order to maintain democracy in which Costa Ricans live decades ago, the basics of trading the need to understand all citizens, including teachers who are committed to be the guarantors of transmitting a culture of social peace within and outside educational institutions.
