Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Nonviolent action is according to Gene Sharp not passive. "It is not inaction. It is action that is nonviolent." The terrible casualty figures of war in the twentieth century and the proliferation of terrorism in the twenty first century have called for approaches that address a world challenged by negative attitudes and escalating violence both religious and social to what has been termed "the other".The other is often perceived as a fallacious or hostile threat to one's own security, whether in the form of a belief, a nation, or a culture. Legislation such as the Declaration of Human Rights calls for dignity, respect, and tolerance towards others, and yet since its inception human rights continue to be denied to many groups particularly those in the South. Comprehensive human rights training through the medium of active learning is able to instill ethical and moral support and focus on threats to security, tolerance, mutuality, and justice. By highlighting case studies of injustice and intolerance and encouraging restraint and responsibility through such citizen-based nonviolent concepts as human security, active learning, utilizing such methodology as role-play and constructive controversy inquiry, can show citizens ways to combat inequality and intolerance towards others.
