Social Issues
In a crowded and individualistic world, peaceful living together is not easy. We have lost the basic trust and connectedness through faith which our ancestors felt, and we often feel threatened by changes we don't understand. Conflicts are easy to start and hard to heal. Many techniques have been developed to stop conflicts from turning violent, yet few people are aware of these. Best practices should be highlighted yet don't get adequate attention in the media.
Which electoral system strikes the best balance between minority and majority rights - and obligations? How can peaceful co-existence best be taught? How can the media be used in conflict healing? At what stage of a peace process are causes of conflict best focused upon? What are the optimum times and methods for outside intervention? What role can truth and reconciliation commissions play?
