Abstract

The media has a significant influence on the beliefs and viewpoints of today's youth. Concerns about the negative consequences of violence have arisen since it has continuously been a major problem on university campuses. In particular, peace is essential to the growth and service of young university students, who will soon be leaders and politicians in our nation. The recognition that living in perpetual conflict poses difficulties and can result in people developing ambiguous attitudes and ideologies has led educators to concentrate more and more on peace education. An environment devoid of peace runs the risk of breeding radicalism, terrorism, unfairness, prejudice, and oppression. Introducing Peace Education to university students physically or through print or electronic media might be a useful strategy in the fight against xenophobia and violence. This study recognizes the value of peace education for students attending South Punjab region universities in Pakistan. The integrated theory of peace (ITP) serves as the foundation for the study, which uses a qualitative research methodology for data collection. Participants in the teaching and learning of BS Education programs at universities and students themselves make up the respondents in this survey. It is established that peace education is important and necessary. In order to uphold peace and tolerance and denounce violence, bloodshed, immoderation, and hatred, the governments of Punjab and Pakistan should work with renowned educators to create an effective online or in-person curriculum that is tailored to this goal. The nation would benefit the most from such initiatives.
