How to use "Pacifist" in context?
Most people associate pacifism with the idea of not using violence to solve disagreements. This is a very simplistic way of looking at pacifism and it is not the only way to view it. For example, some pacifists may believe that violence is never the answer, no matter the situation. Others may believe that only nonviolent actions can be successful in achieving peace.
Whatever someone's definition of pacifism, it is generally agreed that it is the philosophy that opposes using violence to resolve conflicts. This does not mean that pacifists are always against war or violence, but rather that they believe that these things should only be used as a last resort.
