Psicología desde el Caribe versión impresa ISSN 0123-417X This
article pretends to show conflict as natural and proper of human
nature. The author thinks the conflict is a manifestation of the
limited adaptation ability the human brain has; thus, it needs
to transform the environment and the others to survive. On the
other hand, culture as a human creation settles rules not shared
by all people. Then, the keys for a functional handling of
conflicts can be found in the improvement of raising habits as a
long- term solution, and in the transformation of education,
oriented now to live in community, creativity and difference
acceptance. Palabras llave : Conflict; Neuroscience; Psychology.
