Abstract

This study looks at the widespread obstacles that prevent the use of peaceful conflict resolution techniques at all conflict levels, from international to interpersonal. Nonviolence is sometimes written off as impractical or ineffectual, despite the rising awareness of the dangers and limitations of violence. The study uncovers a number of significant barriers to the acceptance of nonviolence, including as false assumptions about its nature, stereotypes of weakness, and deeply rooted convictions that violence is essential for survival and prosperity. The study highlights the significance of a mentality change and argues in favor of a more complex interpretation of conflicts that goes beyond the binary ideas of good and evil. It makes the case that in order to resolve conflicts peacefully, we must alter both the way we think and the things we think, leading to a more compassionate and all-encompassing approach. In order to overcome barriers to peaceful conflict resolution, the study suggests a multimodal strategy that includes awareness-raising, education, and the development of empathy and understanding. It emphasizes the necessity of a paradigm change in the way we view disputes, realizing the capacity of nonviolence to establish enduring and sustainable peace.
