Spreading a message of nonviolence is a crucial part of positive globalization, peace and justice activist Michael Nagler stressed in his speech Thursday night in Wells Hall.
MSU's Peace and Justice Studies Program presented the second annual Peace and Justice Studies Lecture on Thursday night.
Nagler, the founder and former chair of Peace and Conflict Studies at University of California at Berkeley, has spread his ideas across the country and written books concerning nonviolence and globalization.
"The nation state has become subordinate to this network of corporations," Nagler said, stressing the need for a nonviolent fight against negative, corporate globalization.
Community members came to hear Nagler's opinions and learn more about globalization.
"I think especially in the times we're experiencing in this country, things like this are really important," Amanda Batts, a family community services junior, said.
