day three hour two

oratory unifying language
direct action
if you were living in this time vs living on the streets what was the effect----beautiful

powerful speaker
MLK
delivery
100 years ago freeing the slaves
advocacy and activism

to educate
women played a huge role

speeches written in conjunction with women
he was not the only mind behind his brilliant speeches we know

figureheads we regard in non-violence


they were not an island unto themselves
the greatness they stepped into

we could all be MLK
through collective social change

to be successful---to be extremely grounded . . .

people in power have awareness---power channel
as a screen a zeitgeist
cool!!!!!!!!

the monastery reading---the belief that humanity is capable of good---the belief that humanity is capable of good

in CR style
he assumes

fund attribution error???

no assumes common good in others

may not be aware how to engage it
it was in their interest

middle-class
responsability to the collective

conflict management continuum
to talk about violence and non-violence

what are these things that exist in our midst

helps understand the interrelationship
just one person’s model
informal methods
way of managing conflict

formal methods
engage
post-formal methods---

we take things into our own hands
so on the most informal side of the continuum

the greatest amount of control


not a powerful position
refuse to engage

if the parties aren’t willing to engage
avoidance

engage

least formal
discussion
move up to negotiation---a structured discussion
best alternative to a negotiated agreeement

how will you go about discussing it
resolve to satisfaction

next step mediation . . .
formal resolution . . .
transformative method

mediator problem solving small claims

therapist---family--transformative
assist in reaching some kind of resolve

arbitration
mediation----is informal---requires the parties to own the decision

a mediator will decide
advocate that part
hire

arbitrator makes the decision for you
it can be legally binding---no avenue for appeal---if choose not to process----

go into a legal process---judge and jury
conflict resolution

formal
legislative
advocate for legislation to try to change laws
ballot initiative
advocate for concerns with a legislator
formal methods that exist to help us manage conflict---if the informal system hasn’t allowed our voices to be heard---to bring about the change


then post formal side of the continuum is non violence an exceptionally confrontational way of getting attention when nothing else will were


not nonviolence if it doesnt have the confrontational aspect

satygraha/ahimsa distinction

violence last resort

history of violence

formality of court---harrowing---do not assume everyone is on their best behavior


the dividing line btw violence and non violence is fine
very close on the continuum

destruction of property
ALF/ELF

tom hastings
has a great class on non-violence

quakers and mennonites
founded country as an interp of founding fathers and patriotic---the vision of love as an agent for social change---as a definition for non-violence

love as regard for mankind for the common good
as an agent for social change
that propels/propulses greater social change

three different kinds of nonviolence

pacifism/non-resistance
civil disobedience
direct action

teh theory as to why we think of pacifism conflate with passive

not resist  passive---a refusal to retaliate---passivity’s passivity

it brings out the moral issue of justice

a passive resistence??? not overt???
deescalation

police authority figures
citizens are highly trained
the purpose is not to allow your abuser to abuse you behind closed doors

you want the public there to witness your non-resistence to show your non-agressing to show how a group of hooligans are wily nily

this level of violence

CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE deliberate law breaking for conscience publically break a law with public eyes to prove how unjust smthng is
