Why America doesn't fix its failing schools
Victories over structural violence
Structural violence has been inherent in the governance of the United States for almost 200 years. It has been a feature of American society since its inception and, within psychology, it has been associated with the use of intelligence tests from the time they were first introduced in the United States. This article briefly traces the history of structural violence in society at large and in psychology's use of the IQ test. It examines the past …

Envisioning peaceful futures
The new century invites reflection on the future: whether and by what means the 21st century can be less bloody and more benign than the 20th. The purpose of this special issue is to seek a balanced view that neither ignores the harsh realities of today's world nor drains us of hope for the future

Looking forward/looking backward: Prevention of violent conflict
Peace psychology is committed to the prevention as well as the resolution of violent conflict, and the amelioration of its consequences. However, for a variety of reasons, including seemingly intractable structural problems, prevention has received relatively little attention from psychologists and other peace researchers. To avoid being largely in a reactive state in the new century, we need to overcome the obstacles to productive work on preven…
Hostile sexism: "Commentary on "The darkest of ages
In his analysis of the psychological underpinings of Taliban treatment of women, Schulz theorizes about its origins and motives. I carry this further by relating Taliban behavior to concepts of power and authoritarianism, and especially by differentiating hostile and benevolent sexism
Introduction: Peace by forceful means
Job insecurity as structural violence: Implications for destructive intergroup conflict
Structural violence, in the forms of unemployment and other negative employment statuses and of debilitating economic insecurity, is a global phenomenon. The psychological and economic consequences of structural violence often result in deteriorated mental health functioning and family disruption. They also lead to both competition for the fewer available opportunities and organized efforts to modify the violence-breeding structures. The thesis o…

The role of mental health and other professionals in educating and guiding youngsters, and in working with them to reduce the anxiety and alleviate its causes, is outlined

Individual differences in learning abilities: Observations and research at home and abroad
The widespread practice of homogeneous ability-grouping in American schools is intended to facilitate maximum utilization of learning potential. Research findings and observations raise serious doubt about the validity of the practice and suggest that, in fact, differential education may be a deterrent to learning. Assumptions about the immutability of intelligence implicit in such grouping are challenged in this paper, and newer concepts about l…

Pluralism and Diversity in American Higher Education
In a pluralistic society diversity in higher educa tion might be expected to serve the differing educational needs of various class, race, and ethnic groups. In fact, the variety among institutions is due in part to the labor market need for specialists and in part to the practice of accommodating new entrants to higher education without disturbing its traditional mission. The crisis in higher education today is partially at tributed to the tensi…
