| Peace and Justice Studies, Plymouth State College | Report Error | | Geographical Location: Plymouth, New Hampshire, USA | | Degrees Offered: Minor | | Description: 'The study of peace/justice is a timely and appropriate focus of scholarship. Perhaps there is no more important topic of serious study in the post cold war period. Ignorance about peace has paved the way to world wars and the subsequent suffering of millions of people; inattention to the demands of social justice has exacerbated those conditions out of which conflict and violence arise. Peace and justice are such important subjects that they should not be the sole province of governmental leaders or the military. On the contrary, it is the right and duty of every citizen to be informed about the conditions that promote and hinder the furtherance of peace and justice - whether those notions are defined in personal, domestic or global terms.' | | http://www.plymouth.edu/thirdti | Date Added: 12/6/2003 |
