Participation in this process is just a slogan. Social participation in its true dimension goes in the search of Good live, or like Thomas R. Villasante would say improve things every day to live better (R- Villasante , 2013) , without trying to get the absolute truth, but to achieve happiness. " Live differently for better living " ( Latouche , 2003). Involve people in the things they want to do to grow and achieve their development , do with them and not for them , " only the commitment to the rule of development entails to a commitment to the subordination of means objectives (economic growth and technological development) to the end objectives : improved conditions , the level and quality of life for all life forms on the planet " (Lima, SMV , AM, Gomes de Castro , O. Mengo , M. Medina , A. Maestrey , V. Alfaro and O.Trujillo . 2001)
