violence.
Cedeno (2001) defined
peace as “a state of quiet or
tranquillity: freedom from
violence. It is a state of
reconciliation after shift or
enmity, friendly relations,
agreement and control”.

straight physical infliction of pain to
personal and institutional well-being
through the use of force.
Indirect Violence
a form of violence where
circuitous manifestation of
aggression, crue;ty, and other
forms of demeaning behaviour
that generally affect the very
essence of human life.
Cedeno(2001) identified two distinction

between such major human groups as
nations or between racial and ethnic
groups because of the magnitude that
can be reached by internal war.

integration between major
human groups.
The two sides of Peace and Violence
According to irenologists, peace
has various levels.

1. Personal

Personal peace is regarded


as innermost core in the various
levels of personal relationships.
2. Social

Social Peace is also called


as interpersonal peace, which
includes social relationships that
promote and shape peace.
Life always gives back what is being given
out.

Life is not a coincidence but a mirror of our


own action.

If we want more kindness, give more


kindness, if we want to be loved, then give
more love.

Peace is contaminating.
3. National

According to Sedico (2000)


in his write up the “Meaning of
Peace”, he ns to the stated that
national peace pertains to the
serenity of the nation.
Where there is the absence of
war, bombing, strife, terrorism,
poverty alleviation, stabilization
of prices and other noble
peace programs that maintain
better peace and order
situation in the country.
Non-government organizations
(NGO), academic institutions,
parliamentarians, professionals,
media and other members of civil
society must have their full support
and involvement in this level.

Promoting and shaping national


peace is everyone’s concern.
