You believe that diplomatic and nonviolent solutions can lead to a more harmonious and cooperative global community.
Pro-Peace Politics is a political ideology that emphasizes the promotion of peace, diplomacy, and non-violence as the primary means to resolve conflicts, both domestically and internationally. This ideology is often associated with pacifism, but it is not limited to it. Pro-Peace Politics advocates for the use of peaceful negotiations, diplomacy, and international cooperation as opposed to military force or violence. It also supports the idea of disarmament, reduction of military spending, and the prevention of wars.
The history of Pro-Peace Politics can be traced back to ancient time…

Can a country be safe and respected without a strong military force?
@9H942Z82yrs2Y
I believe a country should have sense of defense and leisure at the same time
@9H98L8N2yrs2Y
I do not think a country can be safe AND respected without a strong military force. A country without a strong military can be thought of as a city or town with no policemen or sheriffs, it wouldn't be safe. I´m also not sure that other countries would think of us as a strong country as a whole without a strong military force behind us.
@9H96NVV2yrs2Y
Yes, provided it does not need a strong military force and spends the money that would otherwise be used for military spending on progressive and positive projects.
@9H95XMX2yrs2Y
No because there are serious threats that sometimes need strong military force to deal with.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What impact do you think a global treaty on complete disarmament would have on future generations?
@9LFK3KQ1yr1Y
I think it would bring peace to the world. With no weapons to fight everyone is forced to talk it our like a rational person.
@9LJY87DLibertarian1yr1Y
it would weaken those countries that actually would want peace, leaving them with no weapons. There is always going to be wicked people so we just can't trust that every country is going to want peace and abide by those rules. We will need weapons to defend ourselves or go to war if necessary.
@9LFLRP91yr1Y
The only weapons had if firearms and general weapons are out of the question are your own body and those you make yourself. We would have to either talk like rational people, or fight it out gladiator style, 1-on-1 fights. Either way a more enjoyable world with less wars, and just entertainment style fighting duals when we must resort to violence.
@9LGB9FKIndependent1yr1Y
Although it may bring peace among many, if one went against the treaty and attacked those without weaponry to defend themselves, it may cause greater conflict. Future generations may be in a world of peace that could be suddenly disrupted by those whom don't follow the treaty.
@9LFMFQM1yr1Y
It will impact future generations in every way possible, the way they live, the way they think, the control that they are under.
@9LFKCTDProgressive1yr1Y
it would teach the future generations about the travesties and hardships that taught us more of what happened around the world

How could practices like meditation and mindfulness contribute to world peace?
@9J5VN7K1yr1Y
Meditation can give you a sense of calm, peace and balance that can benefit your emotional well-being and your overall health
@9J6C9S91yr1Y
I would say that this can benefit your well being because as much as physical health matter our mental and emotional well being is vitally important
@9J5Z5YF1yr1Y
I do not really think that these practices will help a noticeable amount, however I think that the promotion of healthy destressing and emotional awareness techniques is good.
It probably could help world peace as everyone starts to calm down but I still don't feel there will always be peace.
@9J5VSBD1yr1Y
I believe that meditation is useful to help people become calm, and relaxed however sometimes meditating too much can cause problems to the person and if solely focused on mindfulness, could potentially be harmful. They can contribute to world peace however humans are designated to feel emotions that range and some of the emotions felt cannot be solved through simple means like meditation and mindfulness.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What does it take to forgive someone, and how is forgiveness related to peace?
@9JNY6NC1yr1Y
They need to apologize and take steps to fix their behavior. Forgiveness can lead to peace.
@9JP5PTVLibertarian1yr1Y
If someone was abusive in the past, they might not be able to be forgiven by any victims, but they can still move on and at least own up to what they had done, taking steps to prevent the situation from repeating or becoming another cycle.
@9JNY4XN1yr1Y
I believe the only way to show forgiveness is through actions and showing how a person has changed.
@9JP27VJ 1yr1Y
Forgiveness is only given to those who deserve it, or pays the time to claim forgiveness.
@ISIDEWITH10mos10MO
How does promoting peace within our own community contribute to global harmony, and what steps can you personally take to foster this environment?
It causes less death and violence, ultimately improving the world.
@9TG6WZPIndependent10mos10MO
Promoting peace in society creates unity and equality among citizens. Without peace and unity we will become a country divided again.
@9TG55SM10mos10MO
I promote peace in community because it makes people come to their
@9TFZVSV10mos10MO
Promoting peace within our community I believe is a must as times become more tense with political agendas and the sort, it has gotten to the point where people are hostile towards each other over opinions and if we were to exist cooperatively with sound minds and more deeper less shallow trains of thought would be most ideal.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If we could spread one message worldwide to promote peace, what should that message be?
@9KYQHJY1yr1Y
Achieving world peace would begin an age a prosperity and utopia of which humanity has never seen.
@9KYQD491yr1Y
Think before you act because everyone has emotions.
stop shooting each other or we're gonna shoot you and our guns are bigger. we are no longer picking sides and if an arrangement cant be made nations that have been warring for decades will be occupied by the United States
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Do you believe that personal peace is connected to global peace, and if so, how?
@9KM7KZK1yr1Y
The peace is come from yourself And your neighbors. And the political persons get those persons they did't do what the political persons want.
@9KM82571yr1Y
I feel as if once people have personal peace then they're more willing to move on to global peace
@9KM72K41yr1Y
IT IS IF PERSONAL PEACE IS PRACTICED BY MOST IF NOT ALL.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What's your vision for a peaceful society and what do you think is the biggest obstacle to achieving it?
@9JNJVF2 1yr1Y
More government assistance: as in, funding for public education and public transportation, as well as socialized medicine.
@9JNJBWPIndependent1yr1Y
Realistically I don't think there is such a thing as a peaceful society human have minds of our own and it is what you do to help you community be better but there will never be a peaceful society.
@9JNJCWV1yr1Y
I don't think there is a thing as "peaceful society" because there is always someone who will want something more, and that will cause destruction to others.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
In a world often focused on competition, how can we promote cooperation instead?
@9J2K7DJ1yr1Y
I don't believe would ever be able to fully get rid of competition between people, but creating and promoting situations that would elimate the need for it could be more beneficial.
@9J2JMST1yr1Y
We can promote cooperation by encouraging civil discourse with the intent to listen, understand, negotiate, and compromise rather than to "win."
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If you were in charge, how would you use diplomacy to address a current global conflict?
@9HLC9GV2yrs2Y
I would use diplomacy to help with the russia ukraine war with the use of the power the U.S holds in order to be a facilitator to the peace talks between the two.
@9HLCPH5Progressive2yrs2Y
Set up meetings and conferences to have actual conversations instead of resulting to violence and war. let people talk it out and come up with a solution
I am more of a Pokemon fan, so I would just make all the world leaders come together, try to battle a little, realize how terrible it is to play Pokemon, and just decide that hell will be like that and deal with the problem so that they do not end up there, just like my grandma when she told me I could not eat another cookie.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If two countries are at odds, is it always better to discuss than to fight, even if one is clearly in the wrong?
@9HDNZJL2yrs2Y
It's always better to discuss than to start a war especially if there is a party that's clearly in the wrong because even though the right side of the argument or discussion is right and make good points, they also might not have the recourses to go into a fight.
@9HDP2G22yrs2Y
some times yes, you can talk things out but often when a country is in the wrong they seek to illiminatte the opposing nation and its people making fighting the only option.
Esta muy bien siempre discutirlo antes de llegarlo a mayor, no solo son los militares que son afectados por este.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If you witnessed a conflict at school or in your community, what peaceful action would you take?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would life change in your city if everyone practiced nonviolence?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Have you ever changed someone's mind with words rather than force, and how did it feel?
I have changed someone's mind with words rather than force. It makes me feel a sense of accomplishment. In addition, when we use words, reasoning and logic to change the minds of others, the communication between us will become more effective and we can solve problems quickly.
@9J52GRC1yr1Y
I tried to change someone's mind, but it wasn't easy. I ended up having second thoughts.
@9J52FKW 1yr1Y
I do not think I have changed anyone's mind with simply words so I dont know how to feel.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How can we as a society support those who courageously choose nonviolent resistance?
@9J2H9ZJ1yr1Y
Based on our values and beliefs we could choose to support the Pro-Peace Politics.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How can the youth drive the world toward a more peace-oriented future?
@9HZFSCSRepublican1yr1Y
I don't think the youth should drive the conversation at all. They need the right guidance for responsible adults.
@9HZDLJX1yr1Y
Peace can only be obtained when corruption is rooted out. If it takes violence to root out that corruption, then so be it.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How can expressing gratitude contribute to a culture of peace?
@9KPC2TS1yr1Y
Fostering a less hostile, more content environment will lead to a more peaceful society than our current situation.
it can contribute t peace because just a compliment or gratitude can make someone feel good instead of angry.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How has a movie or book influenced your thoughts on the power of nonviolence?
The book or movie showed me how the world is really like. The importance of the power of nonviolence showed me the peace and change people struggle for. It teaches me things I’ve never been taught at school.
@9KDYR661yr1Y
The book Skyward, by Brandon Sanderson, has influenced my thoughts on this, because it follows quite of few examples of marginalized people. The government or authority has, in each case, prevented any options of negotiation and left them no choice but to fight against it. I believe that we as a society should strive to provide every opportunity for people to be talking, negotiating, and finding solutions to their powers other than violence, and leave violence and force as a last resort.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can peace be achieved globally without any form of military intervention?
@9HD2YYW2yrs2Y
No, because not everyone is willing to play fair without a threat of punishment.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What changes might occur in society if we emphasized understanding and collaborating with others rather than competing?
@9HLCCRJ2yrs2Y
Having a lot of peace for every person who was in the government and the United States of America.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Imagine if world leaders had to solve disputes through a game rather than conflict; which game would you suggest and why?
@9KJM868Libertarian1yr1Y
Spades! Call their bluff, gather the books that they overestimate, and use them to gain bragging rights.
Unfortunately, conflict and wars are a game to the governments as the game of life or death brings the most fear. I would see it fit if they played a game that was like the Sims but more complex to see how harmony can come with fairness to people of all walks of life.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would our communities look different if we settled disputes through communication instead of confrontation?
@9JCMY6P1yr1Y
probably wouldn't take it as serious without confrontation to back it up
@9JCMG3T1yr1Y
Confrontation leads to a natural human response, evoking a sense of danger in the recipient, leading to a positive feedback loop of violence and petulant behavior. More approaches towards pro peace should be instated, however its important to understand that peace isn't always auspicious.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How do you handle disagreements with friends without resorting to anger, and why do you think that method is effective?
@9L23YZ51yr1Y
I handle disagreements by listening to their side of things, as well as taking a minute to cool off before it gets too heated.
@9L23BFX1yr1Y
When I disagree with friends I listen to their entire argument of why they disagree. This helps me retain my anger and process their side of the argument. It also helps me discover the best way to present my information and disagreements to them. Overall I try to take my time in a conversation to ease anger or frustration.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What kind of environment or policies would encourage peace-focused education in schools?
Idk really it just depends on we’re the school is and how the community is.
@9JCN2XL1yr1Y
They can mention it but without them putting their own inputs towards it.
