America's Culture of Violence through a Buddhist Lens

Welcome to the Piece of Mind channel. We are a peaceful organization dedicated to making the world a better place. We are Engaged Buddhists concerned with the environment, peace, and goodwill. ~ In this episode we discuss America's culture of violence*. By *culture of violence we are referring to the trends and norms in Western civilization that play a role in socialization and that which informs people's actions. Violence has roots in things that are not generally considered violent: such as thoughts, words, and body language. Various aspects of our media and upbringing play an unseen, yet undeniable role in the acts of violence we see in our everyday lives. Constitutionalism (the concept of putting interpretations of the Constitution before all else; including American lives) is an immediate example for what we mean by *culture of violence*. The remedy and alternative to this quandary is to engender a *culture of peace*. We have latent traits within our nation that do indeed provide the ingredients to cultivate peace. But this requires work. Thus this episode addresses what actions we need to take in order to set out on the *path of peace*. ~ Featured in this episode is the following panel: Dharma Ocean, Prod.
