한국 사회 갈등 현상에 대한 기독교윤리적 성찰

Abstract

This study defines this era as an era of constant conflict and violence and seeks Christian Social ethical alternatives for living in this era of conflict and violence. First, this study analyzes the reality of conflict and violence in Korean society. Conflict and violence in society originate from sociological causes that create mechanisms of hatred and exclusion and the process of establishing human identity at a philosophical level. Meanwhile, there are also aspects of conflict and violence that are particularly evident in Korean society, and this study analyzes these through three recent ‘do not ask violence’ incidents. Second, this study examines conflict and violence’s types, structures, and functions. Types of violence can be divided into direct, structural, and cultural violence, and the structure unfolds continuously from the pre-execution stage to the implementation stage and the post-implementation stage. Since conflict and violence cannot be eliminated, it is necessary to understand their positive functions and respond to them realistically. Lastly, for this realistic response, this study presents a Christian ethical alternative from a realistic perspective. Accordingly, this study proposes the ethics of reducing violence and the ethics of becoming. In this way, this study expects realistic practice at the level of Christian ethics for modern people living with conflict and violence.
