ling Peace
“A week without vio
lence” —that’s the challenge for
many communities for October 15
to 21. Violence increasingly
threatens the physical, emotional,
and educational well-being of
children, adolescents, and adults.
Sadly, most acts of violence are
not committed by strangers but by
family members, friends, and
acquaintances. This problem is
not exclusively an urban one. Rur
al areas and the suburbs also show
their scars from violence.
According to a National Crime
Survey, one in seven students is
affected by bullying, and one in
five high school students carries a
weapon. In 1993, 41 percent of
high school students reported
being the target of a racial, reli
gious, or gender-related incident
in a study done by the Department
of Justice.
This coming week, many fami
lies, schools and community orga
nizations will actively oppose the
violence around them. Some
places are asking families to turn
off the violence (on TV, movies,
computer games); others are

showing people how to build
peace through seminars and work
projects.
You can be a part of this impor
tant effQrt. Researchers document
that violence is learned which
means that it can also be
unlearned. In 1950, our children
reportedly were influenced by the
home, school, church, peers, and
media in that order. In 1990, the
media was the primary influencer
followed by peers, home, school,
and church. The amount of lime
parents spend with their children
has dropped 40 percent during the
last 25 years.
If you’re wondering if what a
person sees in the media really
matters, consider this fact: Forty
years of research confirm that
higher levels of viewing violence
on TV increases acceptance and
use of aggressive behavior,
increases fear of becoming a vic
tim of violence, increases desensi
tization to violence, and decreases
the likelihood of taking action on
behald of a victim of violence.
Each of us can make a differ
ence and take a stand against the
violence around us. Here are some

ideas. Try one each day this week.
•Turn off the TV, movies, mus
ic, video or computer games that
make violence look exciting,
humorous or a means for gaining
power and respect. Also turn off
media that mock or stereotype a
race, gender, or culture. Instead
turn on entertainment that encour
ages people to be better family
members, friends, students, work
ers, citizens.
•Go one day without saying
angry words to the people in your
life. Count to 20 silently before
speaking at all. Attack a problem,
not a person. Try to settle difficult
situations by brainstorming lots of
choices and by compromising.
•Write down names of local,
national, and international people
both present and past who worked
for ‘peace. Do you know much
about them? If not, check out a
book or ask questions to learn
more. What trait do you admire
about each of them?
•Teach your children the wait
strategy against violence: Walk
away from fights that aren’t yours.
(A crowd usually intensifies vio
lence.) Avoid things, places, and
people that you know are danger
ous. Ignore things that don’t really
mattei. Talk when the problems or
the friendship really does matter.
•Make a list of at least twenty
games or activities where there are
no winners or losers. Biking and
putting together a jigsaw puzzle
are two ideas. Do one of these.
•Notice and thank each member
of your family for something posi
tive that he has done. Too often
we focues only on the negative.
Better yet, write each thought on a
slip of colored paper. Collect them
throughout the v'eek and make a
