Living together in peace means accepting differences and having the capacity to listen to, recognize, respect, and appreciate others, as well as living peacefully and in unity. It is a positive, dynamic, and participatory process that promotes dialogue and resolves conflicts in a spirit of mutual understanding and cooperation. The sociologist Johan Galtung defined peace as "a social and human condition or state that is evidenced in the ways in which conflicts are resolved." For this prominent Norwegian researcher, peace is not merely the absence of war.
