Learning from the film "The Miracle of Costa Rica" on resolving conflicts through diplomacy rather than military force – How to create an active peaceful nation

How to create an active peaceful nation by learning from Costa Rica
In recent times, the argument that military force is necessary against "threats" has gained strength in society. Now is the time to learn from the case of Costa Rica, which has managed to engage with neighboring countries and powerful nations without using military force. Costa Rica abolished its army in 1948 and chose to allocate its military budget to social welfare, maximizing the happiness of its citizens. This documentary explores the miracle of Costa Rica.
