NonviolenceWhat Is Nonviolence?Well, nonviolence is the process of being not violent. Some historians tell us that a term for nonviolence hasnt been coined yet, and that is 100% true. Despite many attempts by the great Mohandas Gandhi to popularize the term satyagraha, the term just never caught on, most likely because it doesnt just roll off your tongue like nonviolence does. Just try saying it, unless youre Brett Hunter, then just turn and stare at Mr. Sands like you always do during this class period when hes not watching you. But in all seriousness, nonviolence has completely changed our world, from stopping Jim Crow laws to freeing India from the British and even completely abolishing apartheid. It is a great tool to utilize, but only works if other people are willing to join the cause.

Nonviolence, continuedSome generally agreed upon guidelines for nonviolence You cannot ever be violent, or else your enemy will think your weak You have to organize into large groups and fight for what you believe in You must be ready to take a beating for what you stand for. You may be permanently paralyzed or killed, but that shouldnt matter Praise the lord Treat everyone with love and respect, even people you hate Understand that trying to use violence will inevitably fail Use your brain
