A framework or worldview is shaped by a community's values, knowledge and beliefs. It represents the overall perspective and assumptions used to understand the real world. While it is easy to blame others for problems, creating meaningful change requires self-reflection on one's own role and responsibilities, including what more each individual can do everyday through both public and private actions to build a more just and peaceful world.

6.  A framework shaped by values, knowledge,
and beliefs
 “a world view, a general perspective, a way of
breaking down the complexity of the real
world”
 “the entire constellation of beliefs, values,
techniques, and so on shared by the
members of a given community”

8.  "It's too easy only to blame the militarists,
racists, sexists and other pushers of violence
for the mess we're in. What is harder is self-
examination, moving beyond caring by
looking inward to ask the personal question:
What more should I be doing everyday to
bring about a peace and justice based world,
whether across the ocean or across the living
room?"
