This article expresses the Colombian society’s need to achieve coexistence in a caring and democratic
way, and the desire to build spaces based on nurturing strategies that promote interaction. These ideas
are complemented by the theories, laws and principles of Gestalt, the information processing ideas of
Gagné, and the complex thinking of Morin. The aim of this article is to analyze the approaches and
positions of Teodoro Pérez in relation to maintaining spaces that are compatible with citizen respect,
following a social and human development method. It is concluded that, despite the difficulty of the
task, and given its need, man must rediscover and understand himself, live in peace and share his
ethos without selfishness
