School Subject Textbook Authors for Nonkilling: A Plea
POETRY FORMAT, 4 Mar 2013
Francisco Gomes de Matos – TRANSCEND Media Service
School subject textbook authors,
Globally, you play a very relevant role in Education:
Provide contents to learners` multifaceted preparation
Millions of children, adolescents and adults benefit from the materials you produce
Principles and procedures from arts and sciences you very imaginatively introduce
Now, a deeper, sustainable influence on your materials` users can be affected
And your challengingly formative goal of dignifying all persons can be perfected
As materials creators you have an important, additional responsibility:
Enhancing your users` intra-and-interpersonal life-supporting humanity
How? The need for an Education in Global Nonkilling Peace you present
And show educators from East and West how deliberate killing to prevent
