The Congress will address the root causes of conflict and war, and will examine the ways and means for building a Culture and Literature of Peace, toward the new millennium. What we read and watch on TV, movies and media, and the basic values, attitudes and norms we acquire through them, affect us and motivate us all our lives. All wars and conflicts have at their roots cultural and ethnic causes. On the threshold of the twenty first century, we will examine and offer concrete alternative cultural paths forward toward a more desirable present and future. We will attempt to work together to produce useful proposals for research and programs required to "unviolence" global and national cultures, and thus contribute to the promotion of the enhancement of a peaceful Middle East and global village.
