History has been witness to both peace and war. It has also been witness to their beginnings and resolution. From what it has seen, people respond most readily to action and a forth coming approach. Personally, I tend to side with history and agree that people need to be shaken up to see any change or any response. I am not saying that we need to go forth and kill everyone who society deems "bad" or whomever may be the oppressor but please consider this scenario before you judge what I am about to put forth. Try and go back to when you were a child, let's say for arguments sake you are 6 years old. Now, it is almost Christmas time and you really want a brand-new shiny red bicycle. Assuming you still believed in Santa or were just experiencing his non-existence you felt the threat that if you were bad you wouldn't be getting that new bicycle! Consequently, as you got older you were still threatened with other potentially life altering demands. One example being when you were a teen: If you do not clean your room you will NOT be allowed to go to Jimmy's party on Saturday. At that age, if you didn't go to Jimmy's party your life would actually be over. So if now-a-days you threaten people with some sort of consequence (and assuming you follow through if they do not do what your asking) they will listen and all will be good.
