Imagine you are attending a United Nations summit on religion and violence. Representatives of world religions have been invited to the summit to discuss the teachings of their religions on how to address various forms of violence (i.e. human rights, economic injustice, war and political conflicts, gender inequality and environmental crisis) and to find common grounds to help the U.N. and member countries to address these issues. Your task is to present to the group your understanding of contributing factors to violence, and world religions' response to it. In the essay discuss the overall conceptual framework of violence, explore a particular form of violence as a case in point, and explain your analytical understanding of world religions' teachings on this concept. Provide suggestions of actions that you and religious groups can take together to prevent and end religious-based violence.
