| Abstract | Peace is one of the greatest needs in the world today. Until the causes of war are addressed, there can be no peace. Education, justice, and unity are the building blocks to peace and the necessary conditions for its existence. Achieving a peaceful world depends upon our willingness and efforts to remove those things that lead to war and to replace them with the things that lead to peace. Prejudice is the root cause of war and education is the means of overcoming it. Prejudice is the result of self-centeredness and blind imitation. The aggressive and selfish qualities of our past must be replaced by the more mature qualities of cooperation and reciprocity. Five prejudices deserve special attention and are discussed because of the untold suffering they have inflicted upon the world and because of their importance in establishing peace. They are racism, nationalism, classism, sexism, and religious prejudice. Education can help to eliminate these prejudices by teaching the truth instead of continuing to propagate them. Educators must teach the fallacies and harmful effects of these prejudices which, like war, are supported by lies, irrationalities, fear, and ignorance. The first step is to eliminate these prejudices from oneself, then one can influence others. Eleven ideas to aid in this process are presented. Models of curriculum and instruction that further the concepts of justice, unity, and peace are necessary. Education, both formal and informal, is the best means for creating the knowledge and attitude needed for peace. The inspiration obtained from the Baha'i and other writings in the preparation of this paper is acknowledged. (GEA) |
