Document Summary
One of the most important tasks for humanity in the new millennium is to learn how to handle individual, social, and national or international strife in more constructive and peaceful ways. Albert einstein: nuclear weapons technology had changed everything, except our way of thinking . The proper study of human conflict and its resolution is interdisciplinary understanding the problem requires the insights both contained in and overlooked by many disciplines. Only by setting the study of conflict and peace apart as a separate problem area is it possible to stimulate the new ways of thinking necessary for our world. Some traditional academics have argued that pacs really isn"t a discipline in the commonly understood sense of that term, and therefore shouldn"t really be a separate field of study. Not very persuasive because it doesn"t clearly define what an academic discipline really is.
