Which statement is not true about "Structural Violence" ?
Answer: B
The statement that is not true is Justification of violence on cultural ground is structural violence.
In Galtung's terms, justifying or legitimising violence through religion, ideology or culture is cultural violence, a separate category from structural violence.
The other three statements are true of structural violence: Galtung defines it as the gap between people's potential and their actual condition when that gap is avoidable (A); it is built into social structures, so the subject-object-action relation is hard to see (C); and there is no identifiable actor who commits it (D).
