3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession

The subject is the result of the reflection carried out within the Degree in Labor Relations to fulfill the objectives of the curricular adaptation and initiate in the student the joint complementation of the competence for the handling and solution of conflicts and the communicative competence. The development of alternative mechanisms to the solution of conflicts, contemplated and located in the context of a new Constitutional State of Law, every day acquires greater validity in the interdependence of all the people in both the private and the public scenario.From this continuous interdependence and interrelation of man in his social life and by the diversity of cultures, conceptions, universes, values ¿¿and roles arise differences, eventualities, problems and conflicts that, if not having the understanding of tolerance and the understanding of the other as a person unique and irreplaceable, it would entail the loss of the best opportunity to solve them.

Once the conflict was born, a new and own scenario was born so that the related parties had the opportunity not only of their solution but also of change, growth and learning. Our daily life has implicit the conflict and nevertheless, often we do not have well focused its nature so the attitudes developed in such situations either as a Graduate or as parties involved, do not always allow us to be proactive and effective in their solution, confident perhaps in the final framework of the law, forgetting that procedural dogmatic is blind to the interactive aspects of the conflict.

The present justification is based on the theoretical and practical training in negotiation and conflict resolution strategies, with the most advanced techniques in our environment so that future graduates can have a new approach to the conflict and, most importantly, can have a strategic baggage and an effective tool in the approach of the bottom solution and take maximum advantage of what the very opportunity of the conflict means.

This subject is not only a basic point for the formation of future Graduates in Labor Relations, but also a necessary training for the citizens of a country on which all sorts of everyday conflicts of some complexity hover.
