Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms arise in response to society's need to find means other than litigation for the resolution of their disputes. To harmonize the advantages of mediation and arbitration, some legal cultures have developed med-arb, arb-med and arb-med-arb. This article seeks to analyze the possible implementation of these mechanisms in Ecuador. For this purpose, the present article studies, in the first place, the figures of mediation and arbitration in the Ecuadorian legislation. In the second place, through a comparative analysis, it identifies the legislations that have contemplated such alternative mechanisms. Finally, the article determines the possibility of implementing these methods in Ecuador. After making these precisions, it will be possible to conclude that the principle of freedom of choice, contemplated in the LAM, is not always guaranteed when it comes to ADR. ; Los mecanismos alternativos de solución de disputas (en adelante, MASC) surgen como respuesta a la necesidad de la sociedad por encontrar una vía alternativa a la justicia ordinaria para la resolución de sus controversias. En este sentido, con el fin de emplear las ventajas de la mediación y del arbitraje, algunas culturas jurídicas han desarrollado las figuras del med-arb, el arb-med y el arb-med-arb. El presente artículo busca analizar la posible implementación de estos mecanismos en Ecuador. Para tal fin, en primer lugar, se analizarán las figuras de la mediación y el arbitraje en la legislación ecuatoriana. En segundo lugar, a través de un análisis comparado, se identificarán las legislaciones que han contemplado dichos mecanismos alternativos. Finalmente, se determinará la posibilidad de utilizar estos métodos en el sistema procesal del Ecuador. Luego de realizar dichas precisiones, será posible concluir que la autonomía de la voluntad, principio rector de la Ley de Arbitraje y Mediación (en adelante, LAM), no siempre se garantiza cuando se trata de MASC.

Howard S. Becker: What about Mozart? What about murder?

The sociologies of science, art, and deviance have a ommon problem. All three challenge conventional thinking about the objects they study. The sociology of art makes problematic the status of objects as "real art," the sociology of deviance challenges conventional definitions
of right and wrong, and the sociology of science questions the unthinking acceptance of the results of scientific work. In all three fields, empirical sociological research is supplanting philosophical reasoning. Good sociological work requires us to avoid accepting conventional definitions of the phenomena we study.

In a world where health systems collapse one after another. In a world where big pharmaceutical interests pull the strings of science and politics. In a world were charlatans promising marvelous cures abound. Who can you really trust? Yourself. Your judgement. The natural capacity of your body to heal. And the work of thousands of devoted mainstream and alternative health researchers who are not governed by ulterior motives or blindfolded by the innate limitations of the establishment. Every day, thousand of great medical opportunities are lost because they don't serve the established flow of
