Violence…It’s not a habit…
…nor is it an inborn human trait about which we can do nothing
5 of the 6 factors that cause conflict to become violent are economic in nature
…not religious…
…not ethnic…
Non-violent response to conflict is chosen when and where the economic
and infrastructural means to resolve conflict non-violently exist.
That is…Where the civil institutions for grievance
Resolution at all levels exist, non-violence exists
Peace…It’s simply non-violence institutionalized
