PEACE AS RESOLUTION OF INNER CONFLICT

At the superfical level of mind, inner peace can be


experienced through resolution of psychological
conflict.
Conflicts can be either external or internal.
According to Freud, the mind is a battlefield where
the life instinct is in conflict with the death
instinct and in theclashes with super
consciousness and soon.
Three Basic Types of Inner Conflict by Kurt
Lewis

1. Approach-approach conflict- In this type of conflict a


person is caught in between two equally attractive
objectives out of which he can select only one.
2. Avoidance-avoidance conflict- The person tries to
avoid two equally undesirable objectives where he is
forced by circumtances to select one other than selecting
one.
3. Approach-negative conflict- A type of person is both
attracted and repulsed by the same objective.
Spiritual needs
Peace education deals with the depth of the human mind. Touching the
seat of spirituality is necessary.
It drives us to do good, be kind, search for the true meaning and values
lying deep within us.
Children’s spiritual needs are delicate and strong. They want to
experience joy, beauty, love, warmth, kindness and wonder. They
want to feel good.
Education should cater for these children’s spiritual needs.
Meditation develops mental sanity,
releases stress and improves creativity
and insight.
A meditation may be either tranquilizing
or insight- producing. One can practice
tranquilizing meditation by sitting still
and concentrating on breathing in and
out.
Self-image is also a construct of imagination.
Once a self-image is built, the person tries to
live up to it whether it is negative or positive.
Meditation is an act of awakening to reality or
truth.
Various forms of meditation for children could be
developed to use in the classroom as
educational tool.
