Pacifism:
(i)Pacifism preaches opposition to war or violence as a means of settling disputes.
(ii)It covers a spectrum of views ranging from a preference for diplomacy in resolving international disputes to absolute opposition to the use of violence, or even force, in any circumstance.
(iii)Pacifism may be based on principle or pragmatism. Principled pacifism springs from the belief that war, deliberate lethal force, violence or any form of coercion is morally wrong.
(iv)Pragmatic pacifism does not adhere to such an absolute principle but holds that there are better ways of resolving a dispute than war, or considers the benefits of a war to be outweighed by the costs.‘Dove’ or ‘dovish’ are informal terms used to describe people who seek to avoid war. The terms allude to the placid nature of the dove.
