Dissertations on the culture of peace in Costa Rica

Abstract

The present article analyzes the right to peace and the living of a culture of peace, as the fundamental axes of Costa Rican society, from a grounded or theoretical perspective of human rights as cultural products.  In this manner, it reflects on the violation and disrespect for human rights as the result of simplistic and reduced visions resulting from the same legal order, from conjunctural political approaches and from the weakening of democratic institutions, stemming from the constraint of the citizen's will.  In this sense, part of the results is aimed at elucidating social changes that generate new fabrics of meaning, which configure and rewrite a more intelligible complexity of the political “obscenities” that are exposed on a daily basis, as well as a new feeling and thinking of the culture of peace that warn of the breadth and materialization of a broad perspective on human rights.
