Terrorization toward Peacebuilding: Dimensions of Direct, Structural and Cultural Means of Violence

The research paper reviewed previous literature on direct, structural, and cultural means of violence in response to disturbing peacebuilding in global societies. This research also answered how direct, structural, and cultural means of violence hamper peacebuilding among global societies. Likewise, what do local states and non-governmental organizations take the initiative to sustain the peace process in society? A documentary research technique was applied to review the previous literature. Research papers on direct, structural, and cultural means of violence were analyzed from different academic websites (“e.g., Google Scholar, academia, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science”). The review paper found that the cultural meaning of violence minimizes peacebuilding and puts society in danger. Structural violence increases criminals and decreases peace in society. Direct violence increases the risks of conflict and affects socio-historical coping strategies for peace in society. Cultural meaning supports violent behavior by constructing a framework of culturally related objectives that produce lawbreaking rules for the justice system. In conclusion, direct, structural, and cultural means of violence impact the formation of peaceful norms and behavioral patterns that destroy interpersonal violence and international relations in global societies.
