PROMOTING CULTURE OF PEACE & UNIVERSAL VALUES

One of the corner stones for the survival of human society is maintaining peace and harmony
among the peoples of the world and between human society and the enviroment. Our survival
depends upon our concern and respect that we give to “other”. It cuts race, religion and region. For
the larger good of this planet, we have to adopt a more balanced, more positive and more tolerant
frame of mind that would encompass “peace for all” and “all for peace”. This notion cannot be
limited to students or teachers or to educational institutions. It has to be wider in scope, and take in
its fold community, society, market place, nation and international community. As teachers shape the
minds of young children and as children will shape the future world. It is necessary that teachers
should be made aware fully about the dire necessity of internalizing values of peace. This
article/Paper attempts to concentrate on this central point and outlines certain values that have
universal application and are essentail to make us the “complete man”.
