Toward Social Change

TOWARD SOCIAL CHANGE presents an articulate Peace Agenda that contains twelve distinct proposals for reducing violence to a minimum while promoting and encouraging pleasure-seeking behaviors both in children and adults. The proposals are based upon research evidence of the often overlooked bioenergetic roots of violence demonstrating how the historical turndown of the pleasure function through compulsive morality or moralism resulted in an inevitable upsurge of violence through the neurodissociative brain. Newest research on early tactile deprivation conducted by James W. Prescott, Ashley Montagu, Frederick Leboyer, Michel Odent and others namely shows the correlation between mother-infant affectional bonding, tactile pleasure and breastfeeding for the development of the healthy, neurointegrative brain and the building of peaceful and affectionate behaviors. The most important research results are:#xE2;#xAC;#x1C; Violence is learnt, not inborn, and not part of natural human behavior;#xE2;#xAC;#x1C; Violence is a response of the biosystem to the denial of pleasure/desire;#xE2;#xAC;#x1C; Violence is a collective malfunctioning of a society that replaced love with moralism.The Peace Agenda consists of the following 12 Proposals:01/12 #xE2;#xAC;#x1C; Crime Prevention02/12 #xE2;#xAC;#x1C; The Possible Human03/12 #xE2;#xAC;#x1C; Fostering Public Sanity04/12 #xE2;#xAC;#x1C; Respecting Natural Intimacy05/12 #xE2;#xAC;#x1C; Serving Children06/12 #xE2;#xAC;#x1C; More Public Education07/12 #xE2;#xAC;#x1C; Free Education08/12 #xE2;#xAC;#x1C; Politically Neutral Science09/12 #xE2;#xAC;#x1C; Humanism and Realism10/12 #xE2;#xAC;#x1C; Promoting Pleasure-Seeking Behaviors11/12 #xE2;#xAC;#x1C; Male Affection as a Peace Conductor12/12 #xE2;#xAC;#x1C; Fostering Permissive Education
