As you said, this concept is not so easy to understand.

The difficulty is to see the conflict formation in its general context, which is not only inner (emotional), but it has also an outer aspect […]

  Do you mind explaining to me what this internal dimension of conflicts mean in real life? For example in Syria where people are dying right now?

  I have never studied Galtung’s concept of structural Violence. Can you explain it to me? Everybody in here seems to know what it is about. How does it apply to what is going on in Syria and Iran for example?

Structural Violence. Dear Mrs. Gonzalez, please let us know which aspect of it you are working on and with 🙂 Sounds exciting.
