Abstract

Introduction: This paper introduces a new preliminary theory on the right to inclusive education to recognize the democratic State and non-discrimination of global diversity. 

The main objective is to study and analyze the research related to Galtung’s intellectual incorporation through social concepts toward a peaceful culture of inclusive education and the functioning of the democratic State. 

Method: The methodology was based on an interpretative-qualitative documentary review through different conceptual and experimental studies related to the global diversity, the universal educational system, and the inclusive society.

Results: The new theory of the 3Rs model merges the intersection of the democratic State and inclusive education, incorporating peaceful mediation, depending on the multidimensionality —or several triangles— on human behavior and social policy to manufacture said inclusive culture. 

Discussion: The discussion corresponds to the three groups; they are analyzed and complemented with the theory of the 3Rs model, namely: i) peaceful teaching towards the future of the inclusive democratic State; ii) cost reduction and new creation of the fund for excluded students with multi-diversity; and iii) new proposal for a Constitutional Reform for inclusive educational democracy. 

Conclusions: In conclusion, there is a rule of the game to solve Johan Galtung’s theory on the right to inclusive education and the construction of an inclusive State offering important reflections that impact the need to address cultural violence through prejudices, stereotypes, and social discrimination.
