Ethics seems to be relevant to The Occupy Movement. The Dalai Lama continued to focus on a call-to-action. He suggested that perhaps all the Nobel Peace Prize recipients come together to inform governments worldwide. Especially significant, he suggested that those recognized Nobel laureates ask simply what is the benefit of this or that war. War should be questioned, as any military actions should be questioned. Violence should always be questioned. Non-violent social change is the greatest challenge of our times. The Occupy Movement should become familiar with this panel discussion: It lays a foundation for a game plan to alter the destructive course that enmeshes humanity. Ironically, a few days before Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize, he expanded the Iraq War into Afghanistan. [This is reminiscent of Orwellian "double-speak" (e.g., war is peace!)]. Seven years after this LinkTV broadcast, our world now has a global, populist attempt at non-violent social change. The common people, now, seem to be our last hope for peace. Our leaders have shown themselves to be ineffectual. Will The Occupy Movement be able to help formulate pervasive, peaceful transformation? We are all being called to take action non-violently, which is especially challenging when facing violence.
