CREATING LESS VIOLENCE IN AMERICA
Pathfinders
introduces you to a segment hosted by Victor La Cerva, MD.
who, as a healthcare professional, lecturer and author, has actively
worked in the field of violence prevention for over fifteen years.
His book, Pathways
to Peace, is the basis for this forum. Pathways
is a passionate, in-depth and informative research guide to
peacemaking for you: parents, students, teachers, clergy, business
leaders and policymakers.
"An
essential tool kit for all who want to do something to reduce violence
and create a kinder world" - Sam Keen
Our
goal in this segment is to explore the essence of peacemaking and
to glean timely insights and gain constructive resources for decreasing
violence in our homes, businesses, schools, and communities in the
U.S. and beyond. The information presented is applicable everywhere.
One of the gifts, and clarity, of Victor's work is that it gives
us an opportunity to fully understand, and laser-focus, on the hidden
violence within ourselves and how to address it in our search for
a peaceful world society.
The
topics on our agenda include: Gender
Roles in Violence, Enlightening
the Media," Just Say No" Doesn't Work, and Teach Men to
Talk
Remember
that violence is a relationship disorder; it is communications failure.
Those who focus time and energy into overcoming this disorder are
forming more effective styles of communication as well as laying
a foundation for a promising, peaceful and radiant future.
Waking
up this morning, I smile, twenty four new hours are before me. I
vow to live fully in each moment and to look at all beings with
eyes of compassion Thich
