Abstract

As we approach the concept of Juega vivo, we quickly associate it with cunning, especially if we were born in Panama and if by practicing it we have obtained achievements or other benefits. The objective of this article is to reflect on some social realities that surround Panamanian society. The fundamental idea illustrated on this occasion is the juega vivo since its manifestation day by day, its beginning and its similarities with other countries of the continent (Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil) as documented in literature. The article also considers the incidence of juega vivo as a system of general corruption, its transformation from ideas to practices and finally raised to the category of culture, and is related to lack of values and detriment of education at all levels. All these aspects help us to understand the extension of juega vivo as a phenomenon that, according to the perception of the individual, can be negative or, on the contrary, used as a concept that can result in positive practices to generate change and human development of the country.
