On page 64 of Engage, Shelley Douglas comments on Gandhi’s belief that “recognizing our cooperation with evil and withdrawing it is essential to the struggle of social change”. This ‘cooperation with evil’ is portrayed through the devastating video with the reactions of neighbors to a staged scene of domestic violence. The man received many visits from neighbors complaining about a drumming noise one night, and that they could “hear every beat”; when he played the recording of a man beating a woman on another night, the same man received no visits from the surrounding neighbors. Whether the neighbors believe it or not, the lack of attention that they gave to the violent situation connects them to the violence and gave them the opportunity to stop it. Although stopping the violence themselves seems a little far-fetched, the neighbors could have easily called the authorities in order to potentially end the violence. Every little decision and action that we make as a society to promote non-violence is our responsibility to end the “struggle of social change” and not only domestic violence but all violence in our world today.
