Pacifism is a belief in peaceful resolution of conflicts and refusal to participate in war. All other factors are universally recognized factors that contribute to violence. These factors are poverty, unemployment, economic dependency; polydrug and alcohol abuse; dysfunctional family and/or social environment and lack of emotional support; media influence (e.g., violent video games, television shows, and movies); access to firearms; political and/or religious ideology; and intolerance and ignorance.
