Why Peace Studies?
That has to be one of the first questions we need to answer. It is very possible you already have
a strong answer for the question.
If you have an answer leave it here
Peaceful interaction, between people and between people and the earth, is essential. Without Peace we cannot
have a sustainable World to grow up in.
Countries get in fights, often just like in a family. And often without much more than personal reasons.
Our Goal through the Peace Studies Class is to understand first the History of Peace Studies. How long have
people been trying to "study" something like Peace?
Our Second Goal is to understand the Science of Peace. We often see the role of science in war. In our Peace
Studies class we will explore the role of Science in Peace. We will learn about scientists who have worked
for peace and meet with several special Camp Internet Trail Guides, one a past Asstant Secretary General of the
United Nations.
Our Third Goal is to understand the Literature of Peace. Many great Poems, Essays and Books have been written
on the subject of Peace. We will explore the authors and the books to expand our understanding of Peace Studies.
Peiodically we will weave all the Goals together and look at our Peace Studies as a "whole system". Our
studies will explore ideas such as "sustainability", (both environmental and social).
But, you are waiting for the answer to the question we began with, "Why study Peace?". The Answer: Because
Peace is essential, in the home, classroom, community and globally. Some of our youngest students have
put it best: "It just isn't any fun if things are not peaceful".
