The document discusses definitions of peace and violence. It defines peace as the absence of physical and structural violence. Physical violence refers to actual harm against people or the environment, while structural violence refers to systemic harm built into social, political, or economic systems. Examples of structural violence include corruption, poverty, and unequal resource distribution. Structural violence can lead to physical violence through causes like malnutrition and prostitution. Therefore, addressing structural violence is key to reducing physical violence and achieving peace. Peace and violence are seen as opposites - the absence of one requires the absence of the other.
