    Peace is defined as a lack of conflict and violence between individuals, groups, and nations. It involves behavioral restraint that reduces tensions and allows for economic cooperation. Conflict arises from clashes in interests, capabilities, and wills between parties and can escalate without resolution. Johan Galtung distinguished between negative peace, which is the absence of direct violence, and positive peace, which creates social systems addressing underlying structural issues to achieve a more sustainable peace. Positive peace opposes structures and cultures of violence and gauges a society's resilience.

    PEACE

     is a concept of societal friendship and harmony in the absence


    of hostility and violence. In a social sense, peace is commonly used to
    mean a lack of conflict (such as war) and freedom
    from fear of violence between individuals or groups. Throughout history
    leaders have used peacemaking and diplomacy to establish a certain
    type of behavioral restraint that has resulted in the establishment of
    regional peace or economic growth through various forms of agreements
    or peace treaties. Such behavioral restraint has often resulted in the
    reduction of conflicts, greater economic interactivity, and consequently
    substantial prosperity.
     is a stress-free state of security and calmness that comes when there’s
    no fighting or war, everything coexisting in perfect harmony and freedom.
     a state of mutual harmony between people or groups, especially in
    personal relations

    CONFLICT

     Is a balancing of powers among interests, capabilities, and will. It is a


    mutual adjusting of what people want, can get, and are willing to
    pursue. Conflict behavior, whether hostile actions, violence, or war, is
    then a means and manifestation of this process.
     is a clash of interest. The basis of conflict may vary but it is always a
    part of society. Basis of conflict may be
    personal, racial, class, caste, political and international. Conflict in
    groups often follows a specific course. Routine group interaction is first
    disrupted by an initial conflict, often caused by differences of opinion,
    disagreements between members, or scarcity of resources. At this
    point, the group is no longer united, and may split into coalitions. This
    period of conflict escalation in some cases gives way to a conflict
    resolution stage, after which the group can eventually return to routine
    group interaction.

    Johan Galtung, the father of peace studies often refers to the distinction between
    ‘negative peace’ and ‘positive peace’ (e.g. Galtung 1996)
    NEGATIVE PEACE

     Negative peace, as defined by Galtung (2000), is the absence of war or direct or


    physical violence, whereas positive peace is a long-term process aimed at
    achieving the absence of indirect or structural violence. Sustainable
    peacebuilding focuses on both ending hostilities (negative peace) and tackling
    the root causes of conflict (positive peace).
     Negative peace refers to the absence of violence. When, for example, a
    ceasefire is enacted, a negative peace will ensue. It is negative because
    something undesirable stopped happening (e.g. the violence stopped, the
    oppression ended).

    POSITIVE PEACE
     Positive peace is filled with positive content such as restoration of relationships,
    the creation of social systems that serve the needs of the whole population and
    the constructive resolution of conflict.
     Defined by a more lasting peace that is built on sustainable investments in
    economic development and institutions as well as societal attitudes that foster
    peace.
     can be used to gauge the resilience of a society, or its ability to absorb shocks
    without falling or relapsing into conflict
     Positive Peace opposes what is known as the 'structures and cultures of
    violence'. These structures and cultures can cause people to behave violently, or
    impose violence on others.
