PEACE THEME 3: Promoting Nonviolence
Nonviolence -is the refusal to do
harm to other human as life is scared and is an absolute value.
-It is anchored on the belief that humans have the potential to change.
Mohandas Gandhi As long as people accept exploitation, both
exploiter and exploited will be entangled in injustice.
Nonviolence and cowardice do not go together.
A person and his /her deeds are two distinct things. Hate the sin but not the sinner.
If we fight back(in a violent way), we will become the vandal and they(oppressor) will become a law
An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind
Nonviolence demands that the means used should be as pure the end sought. Two wrongs will not make one right.”If the end is good the means must be also good.”
Martin Luther King, Jr Nonviolence does not seek to defeat or
humiliate the opponent but to win his friendship and understanding
Nonviolence seeks to defeat injustices, not people
Nonviolence thrives on love rather than hatred
Nonviolence requires willingness to suffer and amazing discipline in the midst of provocation
Nonviolence holds that suffering can educate and transform
WHY NONVIOLENCE?
WHY NONVIOLENCE?It is both an ethical and moral choice.- Major religious and philosophical traditions
teach about respect for life.
In JAINISMIt is taught that a wise person ”does not kill, nor cause
others to kill, nor consent to the killings by others.”
In TAOSISM (LAO TZU)“weapons are instruments of evil and not of a good ruler”
In BUDDISMThe percept “not to kill” is the foundation for all
Buddhism action
Destruction is not the law of humans (GANDHI, 1935)
Some theorists believe that aggression is an innate instinct which should be diverted away on to others to protect our intra-psychic stability.
Nonviolence is a practical choice. Tools and effects of violence are costly.
Nonviolence works
Mohandas Gandhi of India led the Hindu people’s Liberation from British occupation.
Martin Luther King, Jr. of America “Civil Rights Act of 1964” “Voting Rights Act of 1965”
People Power in 1986, Philippines , overthrow the dictatorial regime of Ferdinand Marcos
WHAT IS NONVIOLENT DIRECT ACTION?
Gene Sharp (2005)Nonviolent action refers to efforts to persuade with action via methods of protest, noncooperation and intervention without using physical violence
Methods of Protest
Nonviolent Protest And Persuasion• Seek To produce awareness of the dissent
e.g. Marches , Prayer rallies, Mock Funerals, Vigils
Nonviolent NoncooperationPresents the opponent with difficulties in maintaining
the normal operation of the system
e.g. Consumers’ boycott, General strike, Civil disobedience
Non violent InterventionChallenges the opponent more directly
e.g. Sit-ins, Fasts
The Goals of Nonviolent ActionAccording to MARTIN LUTHER KING, Jr.seeks to dramatize the issue (of injustice)to put pressure on the adversary to confront the issue.
seeks to create a tension/crisis that would force the adversary to open the door to negotiation.
Also seeks to gain attention, and consequently, support from the larger community.
Steps in Doing Nonviolent Direct Action - to collect data to
ascertain that injustice exists
- to raise consciousness of people about the issue - to organize constituents and build coalitions
- to nonviolent struggles would be the employment of the various methods of nonviolent action.
