While that may change, the credit for social peace must go to institutions such as elections (“throwing the rascals out” is a non-violent way to vent popular anger), responsive democratic legislatures, and effective judiciaries. All of these institutions have successfully mediated political conflict during a time of great adversity in advanced countries.
尽管上述情况可能改变，但社会的和平必须归功于选举（“把无赖丢出去”是发泄民愤的一种非暴力方式）、灵活的民主立法和有效的司法制度。当发达国家面临逆境时，上述制度成功地调解了政治冲突。
