what is the short-term effect of nonviolence?
Throughout the evolution and adaptability of the human species, nonviolence and peace have been natural, pervasive, and normal. In reality, in the environment of nomadic forager cultures, which make up 99 percent of human life, evolution has chosen for a human character that is naturally predisposed toward nonviolence, peace, collaboration, reciprocity, empathy, and compassion for well over a million years. The species would not have lived and thrived otherwise.
Serial and mass murder, particularly in the form of warfare justified by whatever rationalizations, are relatively recent anomalies in human cultural evolution and prehistory, as well as rare in history. The statistical concept of nonviolence and peace as prevalent is referred to as normal. Normal also has a moral connotation, since nonviolence is regarded as an ideal, or what is right. All major faiths contain key beliefs prohibiting killing and requiring people to treat others as they wish to be treated.
As a result, nonviolence and peace are not uncommon, even though they are rarely acknowledged, despite the fact that there has been a steadily growing body of literature about them from at least the nineteenth century, and particularly in the last three decades. Biases in Western society, particularly in American culture, lead us to believe that people are fundamentally competitive and aggressive, dismissing, if not totally ignoring, nonviolence and peace.
