Calendar Description:

The question, "Why Peace Education?" will be addressed.. The

social, political, technological, environmental and ethical content of

this question will be examined within an environment of the major

global issues of our time, the "global problematique". The anatomy of

the nuclear age will be dissected.. Several contrasting models of

peace education will be analyzed in terms of their underlying

assumptions, overt goals and relevance to the global problematique. A

new model of peace education (the "ecological model") will be

proposed, illustrating linkages and connections not only between the

major global issues but between students' feeling, thinking and

acting..

Objectives of the course:

1.

Students will be able to critically evaluate several contrasting

models of peace education..

2.

Students will synthesize course information and experiences in the

formulation of their own rationale for peace education.

3.

Students will plan to act as peace interms in community outreach

programs.
