Abstract

At a time when humanity finds itself enveloped by conflicts of different kinds, violence, greed and crimes at various levels, the world hungers for peace and nonviolence. The United Nations talks about how conflict and violence ‘are currently on the rise’. It talks of the rising involvement of non-state actors like political militias, criminal and international terrorist groups. Amongst the dominant forces behind conflicts according to the United Nations are unresolved regional tensions, breakdown in the rule of law, absent or co-opted state institutions, illicit economic gain and the scarcity of resources. (https://www.un.org/en/un75/new-era-conflict-and-violence) The aim is to constantly work to find frameworks and practical models to end these conflicts. The challenge is not just to find solutions for cessation of these conflicts but also to address the root cause of these violence. In most of these conflicts, there are attempts to encourage sanitization of language and distort reality; in many occasions there is use of language to demonize groups and normalize violence. Communication hence can be said to fuel all forms of violence – direct, structural and cultural.  Using case studies of integrating Mahatma Gandhi’s nonviolent communication in different settings and social institutions, the paper will look at how this approach of nonviolent communication can help in bringing change in attitude and behavior of the conflicting parties and aid in the resolution of the conflict.

探索非暴力沟通的中心地位,以解决和平文化的冲突
当人类发现自己被各种各样的冲突、暴力、贪婪和各级犯罪所包围时,世界渴望和平与非暴力。联合国谈到冲突和暴力“目前正在上升”。它谈到了政治民兵、犯罪分子和国际恐怖组织等非国家行为体越来越多的参与。联合国认为,冲突背后的主要力量包括未解决的区域紧张局势、法治的崩溃、国家机构的缺失或增选、非法经济利益和资源的匮乏。(https://www.un.org/en/un75/new-era-conflict-and-violence)目的是不断努力寻找框架和实际模式来结束这些冲突。挑战不仅在于找到停止这些冲突的解决办法,而且在于解决这些暴力的根源。在大多数这些冲突中,有人试图鼓励语言的净化和扭曲现实;在许多情况下,使用语言来妖魔化群体并使暴力正常化。因此,可以说传播助长了各种形式的暴力- -直接的、结构的和文化的。通过在不同环境和社会机构中整合圣雄甘地非暴力沟通的案例研究,本文将探讨这种非暴力沟通方法如何有助于改变冲突各方的态度和行为,并有助于解决冲突。
