The origianl Peacekam Idea was to have Peacekams at sensitive borders and broadcast the "safe status" over the internet. Then the idea was to have a 24 hour TV channel flicking between the cameras. This would provide the opportunity to broadcast "Peace programs" in between. This would mean people would be exposed to more peace based programming -stuff like "Once We were warriors" that influences people to adopt more peaceful behaviour in their own lives. To create more peace in the world is a great idea, but most of us don't go around using violence everyday. To encourage people to be more peaceful you have to change their culture and you need to expose them to alternative ways of behaving instead of the violence of normal Hollywood films. Also modern Media isn't very good at helping us understand the world. Checking facts and real investigation and analysis is seen as too difficult so instead we get "Boy in a well" stories and endless speculation cos that costs nothing and can fill lots of time "what if X ? what if Y ? It provides infotainment not education and enlightenment- so there is a real need to provide programmes with more perspective and analysis. But what do we exactly mean by peace ? It is such a soft undefined word - everyone is in favour of peace including every politician. It is the bandwagon that everyone wants to jump on.
I mean stopping unnecessary death and unecessary harm, paradoxically sometimes you can use violence to stop further violence. So reducing war or terrorism by using other methods to solve disputes. This also applies to the street or domestic arenas. Peace means finding a non violent means to solve a dispute. You might need to use force to restrain someone.
