This article addresses the supposed existence of a culture of peace in Panama, which would differentiate the country from other neighboring nations. In addition, the author analyzes the history reflected in the lyrics of the national anthem, in the form of violent episodes presented as foreign intrusions. This allows him to emphasize two interpretations under the liberal transitional / cosmopolitan thought, both that ratify the supposed "natural" proclivity of Panamanians to peaceful coexistence. Regarding the increase in crime, the author examines different thesis, including the one that holds that it is an international phenomenon, and the one that links the increase in criminality with the unrestricted immigration of foreigners to Panama.
