Abstract
The main scope of this text consists in demonstrating that it is possible to relate Communication with Peace culture, both understood as a dynamical tool to change social realities.

Secondly, following the pragmatics of Journalism method (Motta, 2007MOTTA, Luiz Gonzaga. Análise pragmática da narrativa jornalística. In: Cláudia Lago; Marcia Benetti. (Orgs.). Metodologia da pesquisa em jornalismo. Petrópolis: Vozes, 2007. p.144-167), which allows understanding the facts in depth and identifying the hidden interests, it is performed an analysis of the Arab Spring as it is shown by Le Monde Diplomatique. Finally, in a third topic, having as reference the Arabian case, we present what we understand as Communication and Active Peace and how both can establish more critical and transforming actions, generating a fairer and more harmonious society.
