Human beings no longer kill each other like in the past. Violent crimes such as murder, rape, assault, etc. are statistically declining, not only in the United States, but also on the global average. Although we are still far from that ideal utopia dreamed of by humanity, we have come a long way since the days of world wars, rampant racism and the usual inflictions of agony. Did we just get bored of all the looting and raping? Are we realizing now that violence is not the answer but the problem? Or did men like Mahatma Gandhi and women like Arundhati Roy challenge our intellect and lead us to the path of peace? Some political theorists have been so influential in history that their teachings completely change the course of human destiny and are compelling enough to eclipse the monsters we once were and unleash the “better angels of our nature.” The idea of ​​nonviolence has been around as long as violence has existed, but over the years we see the fundamental concepts of nonviolence emerge. Whether spoken in 20th century India, preached by an African American pastor, or discussed by elder scholars, three main pillars of nonviolence emerge. Analyzing the social causes of violence, reformulating the mindset used to address violence and civil disobedience of oppressed groups are essential to the success of nonviolent opposition. These three ideas transcend time, race, or society. They are applicable to any struggle in any year by any group of people. While the issues that non-violent groups seek to change can vary greatly, only by observing the violent hegemony around them, changing their mindset and particularly their linguistic approach to violence, and implementing peaceful civil disobedience, can anyone hope to change your situation. ..... middle of paper ......himself like a tree beside the river of truth, and say to the whole world: 'No, you move'”. It's easy to let frustration get the best of you and destroy the windows of businesses you feel have taken advantage of you. It's easy to justify killing someone by telling yourself it's for the greater good. And it's easy to bomb an entire country back to the Stone Age (which never really passed) in the name of justice. Organizing and protesting against unfair business ethics, tolerating and working with the person who is believed to be the embodiment of the devil, and putting down the sword before the pen is not easy. Nonviolence asks people to adopt the idea that cooperation and peaceful collaboration are human nature, not the evolutionary violence of our caveman ancestors. There is no aspect of our lives, no contested issue, that cannot benefit from the practices of nonviolence.
