A New (Old) Paradigm: Creating Nonviolent Media

What we are creating is a new paradigm, a new mythology. Or in actuality an ancient paradigm applied to modernity. We subscribe to the belief that conflict is a part of life, but violent resolution to conflict does not have to be.

We challenge those who are in the business of creating media to stop producing games, videos and what not that perpetuate the myth that violence solves problems, real or virtual. Talk about an old, worn out myth. As Roszack said "People try nonviolence for a week, and when it 'doesn't work' they go back to violence which hasn't worked for centuries."

Use your imagination to create nonviolent media which will impact the imaginations of the young to believe and act another way. It is time for a peace paradigm.
