Aman

Air pancut masa menghormati 100 tahun pertama perdamaian antara Great Britain dan Amerika Syarikat hasil daripada pemeteraian Perjanjian Ghent pada tahun 1814.

Aman, keamanan adalah tempoh keharmonian antara kumpulan-kumpulan sosial yang berbeza yang bercirikan tiada keganasan atau konflik, dan bebas dari kebimbangan keganasan. Biasanya difahami sebagai permusuhan dan tindak balas, keamanan juga membayangkan keikhlasan bagi penyelesaian konflik, wujudnya hubungan interpersonal atau hubungan antarabangsa yang sihat atau yang baru pulih, kemakmuran dalam hal-hal kebajikan sosial atau ekonomi, perlaksanaan kesaksamaan, dan aturan pemerintahan politik yang memenuhi kepentingan semua.

Dalam banyak bahasa, perkataan untuk keamanan juga digunakan sebagai ucapan selamat tinggal atau, sebagai contoh perkataan perkataan aloha Hawai, serta perkataan salam Arab. Dalam bahasa Inggeris, perkataan keamanan kadang-kala digunakan sebagai ucapan selamat tinggal, terutama bagi orang mati, seperti dalam ungkapan rehatlah dengan aman.

Kepercayaan agama dan keamanan

Mural Perdamaian, Gari Melchers 1896.

Kepercayaan agama sering berusaha untuk mengenal pasti dan menangani masalah asas kehidupan manusia, termasuk konflik antara, di kalangan, dan dalaman seseorang dan masyarakat.
