Peace studies & conflict resolution; Teaching of a specific subject

Peace is not a policy. It's a way of life

The world awaits PEACE. But peace, if it is to be successfully accomplished, requires a plan, one that can be realized. Volumes abound on dusty shelves of the world's libraries which contain lofty, if not utopian, plans for peace. In this book I offer another plan aimed toward peace. I call it The Global Peace Village Initiative. I dream the dream of global peace too. But this plan has a new twist. It bypasses the need for national governments to take the first steps for global peace. Any review of world history will reveal the fact that somehow national governments have never yet successfully taken those first steps! This is our planet, mine and yours. It does not belong to governments. I am convinced that you and I can and must take those first steps. We do not have to wait for governments to do it. As I write this page I am reminded by the latest issue of an international news magazine that the majority of the Earth's population-bearing land masses are the sites of armed conflict (that means bullets, blood, death, hunger and personal tragedy). All of these warring land masses are led - in some fashion - by national governments. If peace is to be accomplished, the way will surely be led by private citizens around the globe. Governments later may follow our example. I honestly believe the plan I offer will work. I do not shrink from taking responsibility for the words I have written. But the whole truth would not be told if I did not share with the reader my conviction that the compulsion to write these ideas seemed to come from a presence that resides in realms not of this Earth. May peace be with you, and for that matter, may you share it with us all.

Dr. Epps... who believes ""individuals, not governments, can best lead the planet to peace"" ...sets forth his plans for the GLOBAL PEACE VILLAGE INITIATIVE in this fascinating new book. He reveals how we, as private citizens, can take the first steps toward eliminating war. ""We do not have to wait for governments to do it."" Materialists and idealists, ""hawks"" and ""doves"" will, no doubt, find much to question about the procedures he suggests, but all will be stimulated by his ideas. The author, from Marietta, Georgia, has a B.A. in Psychology; M.A. in Sociology; and a Ph. D. in Social Psychology; and much practical work experience.
