Peace is not the mere absence of war. If we are to educate for a culture of peace, we will need to address the entire cluster of biological, psychological, social and spiritual patterns that presently favor a dominator-style culture. We will need to acknowledge the insecurity engendered by modern methods of childrearing and schooling (e.g., see Pearce 1980), the latent violence inherent in our competitive economic system, and the colonization of consciousness by mass media and “virtual” imagery, among many other cultural patterns that serve to narrow or rigidify our understanding of ourselves and our place in the cosmos. If we are to teach peace, we need to learn to practice love, not only within intimate circles of family and friends, but in schools and in society and in the world at large. We need to transform society, reorganize our institutions, expand our values, so that our culture favors caring, compassion, justice, and love. No doubt it is a huge task. But it is our truest calling as human beings.
