The Framework

For Understanding The Root Causes Of Conflict



	When we can understand the causes of bullying -- that are rooted in the way we think -- we can prevent it.

	When a bully finds a victim to torment, there are always reasons. A victim benefits from knowing the answer to this question and to how a bully thinks.

	Each of us has an “inner bully” -- an inner voice that nags us, intimidates us. This is often where bullying begins.

	Young people need to learn that for every right there is a corresponding responsibility. Learning this makes for a balanced frame of mind in one’s relationship to others and the world.

	When we learn to hate and fear because someone else is different then we are caught in prejudice. Whether it is the color of one’s skin, nationality, gender, sexual preference or religion it only creates pain and suffering.

	Bystanders often don’t want to get involved in a bully situation. But a knowledgeable bystander can be powerful and resourceful.

	Youth-at-risk are bullied by fellow youth and by adults. Understanding how and why they are picked on -- by the youth themselves as well as by parents and teachers -- can be eye-opening.

	Wars break out because one group of people bullies another. In today’s world, it helps to understand how this bullying begins.
