It is interesting to see what the different perceptions individuals have of conflict and peace. I learnt that what one views as violence or conflict has contextual, spiritual or moral attachment to that individual. I also discovered that there is a common view of some of the kinds of conflicts in a particular context.
If a conflict is not dominant in a particular community, people of that community will have different view points than those of the affected community. Many of the conflicts described where those that included harming someone physical.

wow - thanks for this reflection. Do you think it is possible to help students create links between the conflicts that have touched their lives locally and personally with those of distant communities - whether the distance is geographical, cultural, racial or across other differences?
