What have your parents taught you about war and violence?

Asked by Simone_De_Beauvoir (39052points) March 16th, 2011

My parents never really discussed their persecution during the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict for being Armenian and my grandfather never really discussed the Armenian genocide of his ancestors until I asked point blank about both. They always found war and violence kind of inevitable but never really talked about it to us except expressing general gendered notions about my brother being able to fight as he was a boy and me..well, not so much…

What did your parents teach you about war and violence or pacifism? What, in turn, have you taught your children?
