Pacifism is a doctrine or belief that it is possible and desirable to settle international disputes by peaceful means.
Pacifism and Education
Pacifism is the broad commitment to making ‘Peace’ and ‘Opposition to war’.
The term 'pacifism' derives from the Latin word “pacific” meaning ‘peace making’ –
- Paci (from ‘pax’), means “peace” and
- Fic (from ‘fieus’) means “making”.
Pacifism is frequently interpreted as a general nonviolent outlook, both
- Inwardly (Inner peace), and
- Outwardly (Towards world and its inhabitants).
A pacifist is a person who is opposed to violence and war. He believes that killing or harming other people is absolutely wrong and one should not do them.
A pacifist considers war wrong and immoral – because ULTIMATELY WHAT WAR MEANS: being prepared to kill other people & inflict suffering on them; basically a matter of killing.
The curriculum and education should integrate the aspects of pacifism,
- To influence and improve society for a better future and
- To permanently remove the causes of war and conflict, like:
- Exploitation,
- Injustice, and
- Repression of human rights etc.
Hence, pacifism & the ideas of pacifists are much more urgent and necessary to be incorporated into the educational curriculum at all levels.
