IS PEACE COMMITEE NEEDED?

Peace does not need a committee. If there is a peace committee, it means that war events and/or other acts of cruelty must still be held. Because the function of the Committee is to organize an event that is well planned and formulated in detail. The NGO of Peace is a moral and social movement for people around the world. Providing education about the importance of having a good education such as Moral Education (Morals and attitude ) in order to live a Healthy and Cultured Lifestyle as well as Prosperously.

CULTURE OF PEACE

Image
I. S. Agustiani Agoestian A peace culture is a culture that promotes peaceable diversity. Such a culture includes lifeways, patterns of belief, values, behavior, and accompanying institutional arrangements that promote mutual caring and well-being as well as an equality that includes appreciation of difference, stewardship, and equitable sharing of the earth’s resources among its members and with all living beings. It offers mutual security for humankind in all its diversity through a profound sense of species identity as well as kinship with the living earth. There is no need for violence. In other words, peaceableness is an action concept, involving a constant shaping and reshaping of understandings, situations, and behaviors in a constantly changing lifeworld, to sustain well-being for all. This is a far cry from stereotyped notions of peace as a dull, unchanging end state. A static image of peace, as reflecting human inactivity, is dramatically opposed to the characterization of ...

THE SOCIAL LIFE IN WORLD PEACE ORGANIZATION

Image
Author: Yenny Agoestian The wellbeing of nations can occur at the cost of the well-being of their citizens, and this seems to have happened in the past. Yet in present day conditions, there is no such conflict. Society and individual are made mutually dependent and responsible and mutually complementary (F. M. Anayet Hossain)   As a human being man cannot live without association. So man’s life is to an enormous extent a group life. Because individuals cannot be understood apart from their relations with one another; the relations cannot be understood apart from the units (or terms) of the relationship. A man of society may be aided by the understanding of say, neurons and synapses, but his quest remains the analysis of social relationships. The role of social life is clarified when we consider the process by which they develop in the life of the individual. Kant thought that it was just antagonism which served to awaken man’s power to overcome his inertia and in the search for pow...

PEACE CULTURE AND CULTURE OF PEACE

Image
Author: I. S. Agustiani (Yenny) Agoestian PEACE CULTURE AND CULTURE OF PEACE Peace culture and Culture of peace are two different things. Let see the details as mention below. Peace Culture Peace is social health. Your body is made up of 60 trillion cells, as well as vast numbers of organisms that don’t even share your DNA. When all those cells and organisms are getting sufficient nutrition, clean water, and sanitation services in an environment that allows them to perform their proper functions, we call that health. Societies are healthy to the extent that their members (99%, not just 1%) have nutrition, clean water, and supportive environments. Our current war culture is structured by the competitive effort to make oneself or one’s subgroup healthy and happy (comfortable, secure, etc.). Most of us engage wholeheartedly in this competition without considering how we affect folks around us, those across the tracks, and the Earth as a whole. Peace culture starts with the intenti...
