Violence in my Realm
What are the
options
available to us
when faced
with violence?
When we are faced with violence, we do something to stop it
from happening. We also protect ourselves and make sure that it
won't happen again also to prevent other people to become
victims of such violence.
03
When faced with violence, you can take action (self-defense) if
needed or avoid it (escape).
Fight back for your self-defense. Make an action to show your
resistance or contradiction to such violence. This might be
violent or non-violent.
Stay in silence but with analysis of the situation. This is a focus
and deep thinking of the the situations like how and why the
conflict is happening. Trying to figure things out such as
understanding the factors that lead one to another.

could lead to having different thoughts;
which includes harming the other people.
We must know how to act well when we
are in difficult times. Controlling our
temper is important so that we can think
and concentrate well to focus on doing the
things that is good not just for ourselves
but also for others. When others are the
ones in trouble, we must not do things
that could worsen the problem. When we
do not know what to do, we could also ask
help from others as well.

pathways?
We need to control our emotions. These
emotions could lead us into fight or flight
responses, then we would need to develop
our ability to discuss and rationalize
things with each other. Think and be
rational before doing any action and most
importantly in the first place is to avoid
violence, if you see/sense danger; run
away in the other direction. Never move
towards trouble.

What are some
possible
pathways?
Be aware of your surroundings to avoid
problems before they start.
Look intimidating, but not like you're
looking for a problem. You should never
fight unless your life is in imminent
danger or the life of someone else is in
danger. And if possible just try to avoid
these situations.
