Solving Problems Peacefully

Peacebuilding 

Peacebuilding is a process that facilitates the establishment of durable peace and tries to prevent the recurrence of violence by addressing root causes and effects of conflict through reconciliation, institution building, and political as well as economic transformation. This consists of a set of physical, social, and structural initiatives that are often an integral part of postconflict reconstruction and rehabilitation.

The Art OF Peace

One of my Favorite books that keep me in a peaceful mindset is The Art OF Peace by Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969)

Arts and Building Peace

Recognition of the contributions of arts and culture to peace is real and growing. It is fueled not only by artist-peacebuilders and cultural facilitators, who are strengthening their practice through documenting, assessing, and critically reflecting upon their work. Interest is also increasing from practitioners of more conventional peacebuilding approaches, such as mediation, facilitation, negotiation, transitional justice, human rights advocacy, and development, who are acknowledging that rational modes of engagement alone are insufficient to engender the kinds of transformation necessary for interrupting the dynamics of violent conflict.

Of course not all artistic works or expressive cultural practices build peace. In fact, there are many instances of art’s power marshaled in service of militaristic regimes and used to exploit vulnerable constituencies in the quest for profit.  For instance, colonial administrators built grand theaters for showcasing the hegemonic culture of the empire, diminishing by comparison local and indigenous performative practices and cultural forms.⁶ Infamously, music has been appropriated into regimes of torture,⁷ and aesthetically-refined films were used as Nazi apropaganda.⁸

The Nazi's were not the only empire to use this tactic throughout history this tactic has been used in various forms to aid the pursuers of conflict.
