Comment on do you use non violent communication at the workplace?

Because once it has a name, it makes it easier to describe and reference in research literature, and thus makes it easier to draw conclusions on.

Everything has some super specific name that professionals in some field use for it because they regularly need to distinguish it from other similar things.

Great

Use a different name as this has nothing to do with violence and it is unhelpful. Violence is physical and as soon as you make any inconvenience in communication “violence” then you just get lost in pedantic semantics.

  The World Health Organization (WHO) defines violence as "the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual
  
  So coercion and other completely verbal applications of power are violence.
  
  It’s not really semantics, it’s just the whole definition is more encompassing than the most basic/ ubiquitous case of the thing.

  The creator of Nonviolent Communication didn’t like the name either. He said he used it because it connected him with people around the world to share his ideas.
  
  Do all demands have an assumption of violence attached? (do this or I will force something to happen) I am failing to think of ways that demands don’t have implied physical violence if they are genuine.

  You realize that by asking to use your specific definition of a word, you’re the one getting lost in pedantic semantics, right?
