Welcome to our community: How do you define PEACE? | Peace in a society requires sensible rules and norms of behavior, that the people live by. Violence is generally not accepted and at least kept at a minimum by sensible education, communication and peaceful values. |
How did you find this community? | Through Jan Öberg's page on Facebook. |
Do you have any professional experience in the field of peace-research? peace-studies? peace-practice? | I am a sociologist of education. I have worked as a research assistent in different areas and I have taught student sociology as a science for years. When you do your best to act responsibly and dedicated – no matter what area you are working in – you reduce violence and suffering in society.
