Скачать или смотреть I'd Rather Teach Peace | Colman McCarthy | TEDxGeorgetown

In a humorous yet thought-provoking talk, Colman McCarthy tackles the rhetorical question he poses at the beginning - why teach peace? McCarthy draws on his experience as a former Washington Post columnist and the only "Peace Studies" professor in Washington D.C. to explain why, in a society that structurally glorifies war and violence from a young age, he'd rather teach peace.

Colman McCarthy, a former Washington Post columnist, is the director of the Center for Teaching Peace, a Washington non-profit. He has been teaching courses on nonviolence at seven schools for over 30 years, including Georgetown University and Georgetown Law. His books include “All of One Peace” and “I’d Rather Teach Peace.” He is a pacifist, a vegan and an athlete who has run 18 marathons.
