while In high school He has some ideas on why and how lo set up peace education courses He says the main problem Is students arc told lust enough to get us feeling scored but not enough lo feel confident about taking some ac tion Their world he says is full of con wealth and poverty diminishing resources and con sumer waste a nuclear arms race that grows without reason Caring about what happens to I be world and caring about what happens to oneself arc made seem mutually exclusive though they are not The media powerfully port an Image of Ihe conservative career minded of the 80s It is presented with other worthy goals If society Is to be a healthy one James suggests that the task of peace education Is both provide factual knowledge of the world situation and to convince young people that they arc able lo change things for the better Courses should Include discussion of the students personal philosophies and beliefs followed by work on interpersonal skills such as communication and conflict resolu tion Subsequently there should be and discussion of world Issues and finally the students as a group should work on a practical project illustrating the ways it is possible to attempt to Influence ma jor Issues in society To close on a positive note It Is very heartening to recall that Georgetown High School boasts a number of students who feel strong ly enough
