achieve peace? or democracy?
Peace studies is an academic field of study on understanding the causes of armed conflict, the ways to prevent and resolve war, genocide, terrorism, gross violations of human rights, and to build peaceful and just systems and societies. This study draws on political science, sociology, history, anthropology, theology, psychology, philosophy, and other field of research to answer the questions.
Although we had never learn much about the actions to counter violence and establish peace, I consider it important to in cooperate peace into the socialites’ educational programs, and so letting the youth understand the importance and the need of peace in replace of violence in the community. It is also essential for the youth to learn the difference between direct and structural violence, as it is crucial to the building blocks to establish peace. The programs would also need the youth to “create” peace every day and avoid violence.
In my opinion, democracy would decrease the number of certain structural violence, but it wouldn't resolve the violence problem as a whole. It would heal the problem of classism, but not resolve it. Democracy isn’t the perfect solution to building peace, but it catalyze the process of achieving peace. It give the entire a certain amount of power that seemed to be equal, but it is enough for reforms to happen and as the population understand peace through media, the history would gradually fall into the elimination of violence, one such example would be Martin Luther King’s peaceful protests that finally lead to a more equal society between different races, and thus alleviate racism and certain ethnocentrism.
