看到自己喜愛的音樂的网站,里面有這么一篇有意義的東東,介紹給大家: Increase the Peace Campaign We invite you to join us in a campaign to Increase the Peace in our world. This campaign is a commitment to increase the public’s awareness of what we can do to discourage violence and disharmony in ourselves, our community, and our world. In the spirit of mutual support we offer these ideas of how to help "Increase the Peace." The following are just a few of the things that you can do. Some of them may seem small and in consequential, but studies show that they can and do reduce violent behavior, especially when done more often by more and more people. Things you can do to increase the peace: Notice your breathing and make sure to fully inhale and exhale Take time out to listen to peaceful music and quiet your mind Meditate, pray or spend time in contemplation Go for walks in nature Do yoga or some form of healthy exercise Treat yourself to a massage or exchange shoulder rubs with a friend Smile and laugh frequently Give more compliments (sincere ones!) Learn about people who are different from you and reach out to them Ask someone's opinion and listen to their answer Listen without being judgmental Avoid 'put downs' Volunteer in the community Be a youth mentor Things that families can do: Sit down to a meal together several times a week Ask how each other’s day went Share a problem with a family member Share good news with a family member Turn off the TV for an hour, a day, a week or a month Volunteer as a family in your community Things that neighbors can do: Get to know each other, especially people of other cultures Look in on an elderly neighbor Organize a neighborhood watch group Organize a block party Develop a 'SAFE HOUSE' network for neighborhood children Organize positive youth activities or set up a youth center Things that parents can do: Volunteer at your child's school Read aloud to your child Discuss non-violence with your children Encourage peaceful behavior and reward fight-free days Limit TV viewing and provide family activities Monitor the TV shows watched Discourage viewing of violent TV shows and movies Discourage violent play Discourage 'put downs' Remember you teach by example; don’t punish violence with violence Encourage self-esteem and be a role model for 'Increasing the Peace' Things that businesses can do: Give employees flex time to visit their child's school Support a school or a class Make waiting areas for families 'child friendly' Have career days when young people can be with employees to learn about careers and the real world Create incentives for academic achievement and improved behavior in local schools Things we can do as a nation: Reach out to people of other races, cultures, and religions Develop "Sister City" programs with other countries Become a "Citizen Diplomat" by visiting another country and meeting the people Aid a child in another country by giving monetary support Participate in exchange programs Learn a foreign language Engage in "Pen Pal" or "Email Pal" programs Use the internet to study and communicate with other nationalities
