Weekly Module #8
Instead of just the absence of conflict, peace entails a constructive dynamic
participatory process in which conflict is resolved through dialogue and mutual
understanding, as well as human and ecological wellbeing, such as the absence of
war or physical/direct violence, and positive peace – the presence of just and non-
exploitative relationships. Physical and direct violence, as well as systemic
violence, were also described in the document. It also examined the values,
attitudes, traditions, and modes of behavior, as well as ways of life, in the context
of the culture of peace. The distinctions between healthy and unhealthy conflict,
as well as functional conflicts, were further explained in this module. Functional
conflicts, as I understand these two terms, are disputes that may help individuals
grow. It's analogous to an argument between friends when you put yourself in
each other's shoes to reach an accord. There are times when neither party wants
to reach an agreement or advance in a conflict that isn't working. It also explored
how to deal with the consequences of disagreement.
Finally, the final subject of the module, Peace Education, delves deeper into the
concept of peace and how to establish a culture of peace via information, skills,
attitudes, and values. Conflict is a normal part of life, and it is a part of human
interactions. When it comes to anything, people aren't always on the same page.
In and of itself, conflict isn't always a terrible thing. If done constructively, it may
aid individuals in standing up for themselves and others, as well as working
together to find a mutually beneficial solution. If not effectively managed, conflict,
on the other hand, can lead to resentment, suffering, division, and other serious
concerns. The goal of this post is to show you how to deal constructively with
disagreements.
Teaching students about peace education aims to prepare them to become
responsible citizens who are open to differences, able to empathize with one
another, and who are capable of empathy and solidarity, both within and across
borders and social groups, and who can deconstruct the foundations of violence
to advance the cause of peace. Peace, combined with togetherness, positive
thinking, and teamwork for the common benefit of everyone, is the cornerstone
of any nation's progress. Citizens must settle on a set of shared values that they
will live by and pass down to future generations.
