TEN SAFETY TIPS TO KEEP YOU SAFE DURING THIS PERIOD.

War is always a choice and it is always a bad choice. It is a choice that always leads to more war. It is not mandated in our genes or our human nature. It is not the only possible response to conflicts. Nonviolent action and resistance is a better choice because it defuses and helps resolve conflict. But the choice for nonviolence must not wait until conflict erupts. It must be built into society: built into institutions for conflict forecasting, mediation, adjudication, and peacekeeping. It must be built into education in the form of knowledge, perceptions, beliefs and values—in short, a culture of peace.

. Don’t be put off by people who know what is not possible. Do what needs to be done, and check to see if it was impossible only after you are done.Paul Hawken (Environmentalist, Author)

❖ Do Not Argue About Politics in Public

The election period in various countries of the world, may be a time for violence to develop; therefore it is appropriate that you do not stay out late. As a matter of fact you have got to get home early.

❖ Do not Support or Wear Political Campaign Uniforms in Public

If you belong to any political party, it may be better that you do not wear political party uniforms. This is so that you do not attract the attention of opposition party members who may be irritated by it. More often than not these party members may be all out to injure others.

❖ Always Listen to the News Always.

  2. Interesting article, I think this should be broadcasted throughout the entire country so that people can be aware of these facts. Cos when war happens, the minority (the poor, infants and children and women) suffer more. The rich wouldn’t be there but rather use money to push it or influence people to be involved. Say no to war and violence. Let’s spread this article.
