Definitions of 3 words from the dictionary.
Pacifism:
A pacifist believes that negotiation is always preferable to war as a means of solving disputes.

Ex: "Mommy! Johnny called me a bad name and he threw mud in my face."
"Okay, Bobby. I'm going to call your Dad and we'll all go over to Johnny's house after dinner to discuss this problem with Johnny and his parents. Maybe we can find out what's troubling him and work something out so we can all be friends. Okay?"
Apathy
Lack of interest or concern, especially regarding matters of general importance or appeal; indifference.
Lack of emotion or feeling; impassiveness.

In fact, I'm gonna git me a broom and knock some sense into that lousy whore he calls a mother. Call your Dad before we leave and tell him to pick up some buckshot on the way home from work and we'll show them who's in charge on this block!"
