nonharming:
How to weave nonharming, as principle & practice, deeply & richly into http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/ so that abundance & flourishing, goodness, skill & excellence can emerge in full measure & over millenia? The Peace & Social Justice Studies - worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Peace_and_Social_Justice_Studies - subject is one of many ways in this WUaS teaching & learning wiki ... and by conversing about these and everyone making WUaS together.
This will happen fulsomely when we all engage WUaS together in the fun ways that teaching & learning make possible, as well as invent new ways ...
Examples of societies where nonharming as principle obtains? There are many small groups - but here are some places and groups: south India & Hinduism (in general?), Society of Friends (Quakers), War Tax Resisters, historic Peace churches ...
The NAACP - National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peoples (http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/NAACP.htm and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAACP).

And in the wild, among other (nonhuman) primates? Bonobo chimpanzees? (There are around 376 species of higher primates).
I sometimes wonder whether / hypothesize that all these human primate peace group orientations have emerged in response to something that is Pan troglodytes-ish (like Common chimpanzee behavior) in human behavior, as primatological (the science of studying higher primates) stories or narratives, in contrast to something that is Pan paniscus-ish (i.e. like Bonobo chimpanzee behavior - which are peaceable, compared with common chimps), also as primatological stories or narratives.
Here are more peace oriented groups: the Nobel Peace Prize community (1901), which is around 100 yrs old ... American Friends' Service Committee (1917) ...
