◯Real-World Bullying and Crime Prevention Measures and Actions[1]

    As long as humans possess an ego, they are prone to anger, feelings of inferiority, dissatisfaction, blame-shifting, slander, and violence, prioritizing themselves over others. In Prout Village, it is recommended that both adults and children learn about no-mind and acquire skills to control their egos. Understanding that the roots of problematic behavior and life's hardships lie in these aspects enables individuals to objectively view their own words and actions.

    In examining places where bullying occurs outside the Internet, schools and workplaces make up the majority. Common elements include being forced to spend regular, set times in the same space with incompatible people and being targets of attack if they fail to meet group standards or achieve results. However, in a monetary society, it is not easy to change schools or leave jobs without assurance of finding another, making it difficult to avoid bullying.

    In Prout Village, there are no schools or workplaces where one must spend most of the day with people they dislike. It is crucial that parents and the community do not force anyone, child or adult, to continue activities against their will but allow them to explore a wide range of interests, even changing environments to align with their curiosity. Whether to endure unpleasant situations or to avoid them should be the individual’s decision, helping to develop personal accountability and problem-solving abilities. The same approach applies to domestic violence; women and children in Prout Village can easily change their residences, making it easier to avoid abusive spouses. If a wife reports her husband's violence to the local assembly, the 5th Town Assembly will determine if the violence is illegal and decide on the actions to take, although such decisions are difficult without evidence.

    This system simplifies the avoidance of stress arising from interpersonal relationships and long-term bullying. Any remaining issues are likely to be isolated incidents of harassment or pranks. The criteria for real-world bullying and defamation are based on whether the action is repeatedly carried out against someone's will.
