We often find that there is a 'universal concept' for all types of conflict. AMAN works to nurture the seeds for peace that grow from within. Peacebuilding works to overcome broken relationships and feelings that require a deep understanding of the different contexts and situations that people "Peacebuilding is an art. Every effort to build peace or overcome broken relationships requires certain actions at certain times 21 AMAN does not see peace as a mere goal but as the journey itself. Peace is an important point that must be achieved even though the journey to peace can be When Johan Galtung classifies peace into negative and positive peace, researcher see how the implications of this classification have raised the important question of that is it peace or peace that Some people justify taking violent action to bring peace.
