    Violence  entails  the  violation  of  some  kind   of
integrity  which  is  important to personal  and  communal
integrity.    The  violation of an  integrity  may  entail
physical   violence  and  the  destruction   of   physical
integrity,   but there are many other ways in which  there
may be the violation of an integrity---depending both upon
the kind of integrity which is violated,  and upon the way
in which the integrity is violated.

    When  dishonesty  is  used as a tool  of  manipulation
there is a violation of truth, and so violence is done  to
people   and  communities  whose  integrity  depends  upon
respect for truth.

    When  there is a perversion of  an  integrity  through
confusion,  abuse, misuse or distortion; the perversion is
violence.

    There is  violence when  there  is  misrepresentation,
ridicule, or making fun of something which has integrity--
-so that it is robbed of the respect it merits.

    Prejudiced  people  engage in violence which is  often
motivated  and  guided  by fears  and  frustrations  which
undermine  the  integrity of different  people---who  have
what is perceived as a threatening kind of integrity.
