ABSTRACT
War, more than any other dehumanizing force of contemporary life, prevents humankind from establishing a human community in which all may live in dignity. The process of education is intended to enable persons to achieve their human potential and to realize their human dignity. Humanizing the conduct of war has become about as difficult as abolishing war, while the need to abolish war becomes even more urgent. Human history is a chronicle of warfare, and the history of warfare is a chronicle of crime. There are many project and program possibilities for changes within the growing survival-curriculum movement and also in projects dealing with social issues and human development. One resource for program development in the personal and social realms lies in the field of world cultures and the emerging world civilization. Mutual respect and human dignity for all can only exist in a polyglot global society.
