Once the vision and mission are clearly identified, we must analyze the external and internal environment. Effective change in most organizations takes 2 to 5 years, depending upon the circumstances. Non-violence will take a lot longer. The bottom line is that Peace in our families, communities and world is achievable. This is not the conclusion of one individual, but the results of many years of research and thought by the world's most prominent peace people.
Peace is achievable.
Further, the formula to achieve peace is known. We currently have the knowledge, technology and infrastructure to achieve peace. We can, and should, approach this from the top down, and from the bottom up. Initiate a National Culture of Peace Program in as many countries as possible, as soon as possible. A Culture of Peace Program must take a long term perspective.
