The Culture of Violence

Description
A study of important ideas and problems as they are reflected in the world's literature, psychology and sociology. The pyschology of violence will be studied together with the ways to nourish a society to avoid what seems to be an innate aspect of the human experience: violence to achieve one's ends. War, racism, death, censorship, film, civil disobedience, minority literature and the Holocaust are examples of characteristic topics.
