Violence

War, Peace and Human Rights

Violence

This unit is clearly linked to issues of war and pacifism. People who object to war on principle are generally committed to non-violence. However, this unit focusses more on civil action - peaceful protests such as marches and demonstrations. For example, it looks at how someone like Martin Luther King was able to change the political inequality in southern USA without resorting to violence.

The non-violent approach comes directly out of Jesus' teaching, but Jesus did use violence himself, and his disciples carried swords. We will look at whether Christians should be limited to a non-violent approach, or whether it is sometimes necessary to use violence.
