Regardless of the specific theme that you are addressing, we recommend you begin by looking at the following resources. Any exploration of a particular form of violence will benefit from a deeper familiarity with the interrelationships between different types of violence, the connections between being a victim and perpetrator, and the powerful emotions, ideas and values that fuel all, or at least most, acts of direct violence. Classroom discussions of violence also often reveal the ambivalence that the majority of us have towards violence: we would like to live in a less violent world, but likely believe that there are situations where no real alternative exists or have real doubts as to the possibility of creating a more peaceful world. The following resources offer unexpected insights and depth, providing an extensive toolkit of ideas and useful examples to respond to the myriad of issues that may be raised in classroom discussions on a topic as large as violence.
