Common Strategy

After taking nearly an entire semester of Nonviolence: Theory and Practice, it is safe to say that I began falling into a habit of association when discussing nonviolence. Most of the nonviolent movements that are discussed or heard about seem to deal with issues that are widespread or well known, for example various international wars or civil rights movements. It is easy to forget or not realize, however, that nonviolent movements are occurring in everyday life, with many different issues. An example of this would be the various animal rights movements that are present in today's society. They are acting with complete nonviolence and are often very strategic. This is similar to strategy discussed in war, however it is much easier to not realize that nonviolent effort is present.
