Definition Paper

When I was starting to write my definition paper, My first step was to sit down and produce a definition I was happy with that not only described nonviolence, but also helped me to establish what an act of violence looked like. However i kept finding my self getting stuck, of all the authors we have been reading the one I find my self most closely aligning with was one of the first authors we read George Coe. He believes that there is no way to truly define violence and nonviolence because any act of nonviolence to one person can be conceived as violence to someone else. This is where the principle of direct and indirect violence has found its place in my definition. How far can we stretch the arm of indirect violence before it has come full circle to direct violence?
