Communication in the age of digital conflict: peace education facing the philosophical and social challenges of technological progress

Abstract

In the digital age, communication presents significant challenges for peace education, as technological advancements introduce new complexities in interpersonal relationships, information sharing, and conflict resolution. This paper examines the philosophical and social implications of digital communication, emphasising the need for a holistic approach to peace education that includes ethical, moral, and social values. It discusses the role of education in fostering peaceful communication, developing critical thinking, and promoting responsible digital citizenship. Furthermore, educators play a crucial role in promoting digital literacy, empowering students to navigate the digital world effectively, and equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed to engage responsibly online. By exploring the intersection of technology, ethics, and human relationships, this work aims to contribute to building a more peaceful and harmonious digital society
