A New Definition of Violence
Hello All, today is another day to present to you another on Nonviolent Communication.
A New Definition of Violence
Marshall Rosenberg describes some everyday violent behaviours:
Reward and punishment—“Punishment is the root of violence on our planet.”
Guilt—where we trick others into thinking that they are responsible for our feelings, eg “Now you’re
really making me angry.”Shame—where we label someone when they don’t do what we want, eg. “You are so rude.”
Denying responsibility for our actions—using “had to,” “can’t,” “should,” “must,” and “ought.”
