Welcome to Youth Peace Literacy
The intent of Youth Peace Literacy is to donate its peace educating resources free to help young people worldwide to understand and alleviate the fundamental source of human conflict - psychological conditioning. The internationally acclaimed Youth Peace Literacy™ books and training programs address this vital concern of conditioned thinking within the relevant context of the bully/victim cycle - from the playground to the battlefield.
This pioneering field of study is a radically innovative approach in understanding the primary nature and structure of human conflict. It is based on the initial insights of quantum physicist Dr. David Bohm, educational philospher Jiddu Krishnamurti and authors Aldous Huxley and George Orwell who have addressed the urgent and critical need to understand conditioned thinking that is at the root of human conflict. This concern is effectively being demonstrated in Liberia with children of war as seen below.

brave new child: Liberating the children of liberia and the world One courageous teacher and twenty children of war are changing the world - one Lesson at a time. “Many theories have been put forward as causes of the Liberian civil war, including unemployment, abuse of human rights, political patronage, illiteracy, lack of development and tribalism. While it is true that all of these factors may have contributed, the heart of the Liberian conflict—and the fundamental cause of human conflict—is psychological conditioning." - From the book |
