Education for a culture of peace
The Culture of Peace News Network, an internet news service, is analyzed in the framework of a general approach to education for a culture of peace. Its format reflects the eight program areas for a culture of peace as adopted by the UN General Assembly. Among its other operating principles are universality of news with all cultures and regions of the world given equal priority, requirement that reflection be accompanied by action and that news s…

Toward a global movement for a culture of peace
The culture of peace concept has been developing for 10 years at the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization and the United Nations (UN) since it was first described at Yamoussoukro in 1989. It calls for a transformation and development of alternatives to the values, attitudes, and behaviours that are necessary and sufficient for the preparation and elaboration of the culture of war and violence: the concept of power as …

Internal Military Intervention in the United States
Data on internal military interventions in the USA are presented for those periods in which they are available from US government sources: 1886-95, 1921-35 and 1943-90. Although the rate of intervention has varied from year to year and the targets of interventions have shifted from industrial workers to urban rioters, the overall rates of intervention have remained near the average during the years: about 18 interventions and 12,000 troops per ye…

The Seville Statement on Violence
The Seville Statement on Violence and Why It Is Important
The Seville Statement on Violence, reproduced here, specifically rejects the various myths that war is part of human nature and concludes that "the same species who invented war is capable of inventing peace." It is gaining endorsements by scientists and scientific organizations, mass media, and in school texts and curricula around the world. Its importance is underscored by evidence that many young people erroneously believe the myth that war is…
Is war inevitable
The Seville Statement on Violence
1. The Message of the Statement Although the central struggle in the developing world movement to abolish war is political, there is a related psychological struggle that also plays an essential part. Psychologists may have a vested interest when they emphasize the importance of psychological factors, but major political figures have acknowledged them as well. For example, within weeks after his historic meeting with Ronald Reagan in Washington a…
Why There Are So Few Women Warriors
Cross-cultural iiiethodologj, suggests that it,ot ? ieti are excluded frorn warfare not so iiiiich because of sex differences in aggressioeness or strength, but instead because of a contradiction arising from i ?7 arital residency syste l iis that arose, in turn, as a function of warfare. Under conditions of internal warfare (war against neighboring communities sharing the same language) many stateless cultures may have adopted patrilocal exogamo…
Motivational Factors Affecting Fluctuations of Female Sexual Activity at Menstruation
The hypothesis was tested that pre-menstrual and post-menstrua I increases in sexual activity are due to anticipation of deprivation and rebound following deprivation (Ford & Beach, 1951). Thirty-five married women completed daily questionnaires about their sexual activity for at least two menstrual cycles. Evidence supported the hypothesis that the post-menstrual peak in intercourse is a rebound phenomenon. There was less evidence to support the…
Motivational systems of social behavior in male rats and monkeys
A comparison is presented between the behaviors of male rats and male stumptail macaques that occur when two unfamiliar males are paired for 10 min. Results which have been presented in detail in separate papers elsewhere are compared and discussed here in terms of the hypothetical organization of motivational systems. The following motivational mechanisms appear to be homologous in the rat and monkey: offense, defense, submission, male sex, self…
Ethics of aggression research
Three papers are presented from the first symposium on ethical issues in aggression research of the International Society for Research on Aggression held at the biennial meetings 1980 in Haren, The Netherlands. The symposium reflected a growing awareness of the Society that their research is a matter for public concern and scrutiny, both for its potentially good uses, and for its potential misuse and misinterpretation. A paper by Santiago Genovés…
Motivational systems of agonistic behavior in muroid rodents
The data on agonistic behavior of muroid rodents that have been obtained from field observations and laboratory experiments are reviewed and compared in terms of a hypothetical model of the neural organization of these behaviors. The neural model has been presented elsewhere and is used here only as a way to organize the data. The data are organized in terms of four hypothetical motivational systems: Offense, defense, submission, and patrol/marki…
