DISCUSSION
The concept of peace varies according to the people who give meaning to it, based on the work they do and the
cultural context they come from. Some of these concepts are:
1. “ Peace is not just the absence of war. It is the wholeness of life where every person can
live with dignity.”
2. “ The new name of peace is development.”

Peace is not just the absence of war or violence. It is more than just the absence of war because its
absence does not always means peace. It is positively defined, as the presence of harmony, understanding,
tranquility, social justice, respect, and tolerance- meaning the enhancement of life. It is the general well-being
of the individual. Peace should be viewed at different levels:
1. Personal Level refers to the development of inner harmony or inner integration characterized by
such qualities as self-respect, self-confidence, ability to cope with negative feelings (fear, anger, insecurity’ and
shame), and developing positive attitudes such as cheerfulness and optimism.
2. Interpersonal Level is manifested by the relationship of an individual with one another. The
interpersonal peace can be shown in terms of:
a. Assertiveness. The capacity of the individual to express one’s views or exercise
one’s right without being aggressive or submissive.
b. Respect. To recognize the worth of others regardless of differences in social
position, culture, origin, ethnic grouping or gender.
c. Concern for others. An awareness and understanding of their needs, feelings
and condition and extending appropriate consideration for such.
d. Cooperation. The capacity and willingness to work with others to achieve a
common goal.
