Hello; This will be too simplistic, but the plots of Star Trek The Next Generation and similar TV series may shed some insight. In so many of the episodes crisis situations get resolved in some clever and non violent way. The sort of hero who does not wind up needing to shoot or otherwise kill someone.
I am sure someone has put a name to what I am trying to get across. Tell me if you know what the terminology might be. Folks who believe that they have the intellectual capacity to solve problems if only others would listen good enough and get their minds right.
