Goddard and presents his 1916 essay “Super-Resistance.” It argues that the term “non-resistance” misleads because the concept it names is often treated as negative, passive, and cowardly. Goddard proposes a fresh vocabulary, redefining the true principle as “super-resistance” and distinguishing it from both forceful resistance and passive non-resistance. Using the analogy of handling a child’s outburst, the essay frames super-resistance as a higher, imaginative, and constructive mode of meeting conflict.",{"@graph":14,"@context":72},[15,34,55],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/religion-spirituality/","Religion

international good will.This movement depends for its ultimate success uponincreased international understanding,appreciation,and sympathy.To this end,documents are printedand widely circulated,giving

nations if peacefulcivilization is to continue and to be advanced.
