Building a Peaceful Society and Self-Stability
Saif Mohammed

Social peace is defined as mutual agreement and understanding with others. It forms the basis of society’s cohesion, stability, and the strength of its structure. Without it, a society is at risk of perishing, with human rights being lost, and stability deteriorating.

Throughout history, humanity has suffered from the phenomenon of violence, and it continues to be a challenge today. People have faced various forms of violence over the years, causing endless societal disasters, the effects of which linger to this day. This phenomenon contradicts human nature. Therefore, it is necessary to educate and raise awareness, define human rights, and take necessary measures to reduce violence. Through this, individuals can distinguish between what is right and wrong, promoting understanding, acceptance, and respect for others’ opinions. All of this elevates individuals to a higher level and contributes to achieving positive, lasting change in society.

Education plays a crucial role in reducing or minimizing violence, as it has significant, far-reaching effects on individuals and communities, similar to the risks of wars and conflicts among humans, leaving destructive effects for many years. Additionally, a violent person becomes introverted, inclined towards isolation, finding it difficult to communicate with others. Moreover, they harbor hatred towards the society around them, leading to aggressive and sometimes criminal behavior.

To promote societal peace, several steps must be taken. Foremost among these steps is education and upbringing, fostering positive behavior from early childhood. The early years of a person’s life lay the foundation for their character, guiding them towards good or evil. Defining ethical and social values is essential to achieving societal peace, including tolerance, embracing others, accepting diversity, combating corruption, verbal violence, and enacting strict laws that prevent societal violence and punish those who dare to adopt violent approaches in dealing with others.

Following these rules ensures the safety and security of individuals, achieving their presence and identity in society. If societal peace is achieved, it indicates the progress and prosperity of communities and their stability. It provides a sense of security, unleashing potential for work, creativity, and accomplishment.

Combatting violence is a time-consuming and effort-intensive process, but it is worth every effort. Societal peace is the fundamental pillar for building a more stable society.
