There are 3 ways for oppressed people to deal with their oppression.
1- acquiescence: "is a legal term used to describe an act of a person in knowingly standing by without raising any objection to infringement of his rights, when someone else is unknowingly and honestly putting in his resources under the impression that the said rights actually belong to him." according to Wikipedia.
2-Resort to physical violence and corroding hatred.
3-Nonviolent resistance which means no individual need to submit to any wrong; seeks 2 opposites; acquiescence and violence while avoiding immoralities of both.
Violence never brings permanent peace.ıt solves no social problem, it merely creates new and more complicated ones.
As martin Luther told, he sees violence as "immoral" because it comes from hatred not love.he also added that it annihilate communication and societies.

And how do you feel about the "morality of violence"?
ReplyDeletei think violence has no part of being moral. ıts very scornful to be beaten up- and if its by whom you love for example by your dad brother or husband- it would be more devastating then nobody could think of.
ReplyDeleteyes, I couldn't agree more...morality and violence do not mix!
