New Film! "No More War: The Human Potential for Peace
Futurist, behaviorist, and evolutionary biologist Dr. Judith Hand presents a compelling argument in her film “No More War” that if we chose to do it, we can achieve what no people before us could: a future without war. She introduces cutting edge hypotheses on the origins of cooperation, altruism and morality, indicating how they relate to the human potential for peace. The origins of war are explored, including a consideration of why men and women, in general, differ when it comes to using physical aggression to resolve conflicts. A proposal is offered that the time is right for us to mount a global, social transformation movement to abolish war and reasons are given for why we can, at this time, embrace the goal of ending war with confidence. Why participation of women as full partners with men in decision-making positions is a necessary condition, not an option, is stressed. Two complementary elements of a nonviolence campaign to end war are introduced: Constructive Program and Obstructive Program. Suggestions are offered for ways viewers can be involved in this great cause. Learn more.
Take Action
- Join and support an organization that is doing Constructive or Obstructive work to shape a better future. For examples, see our AFWW links page.
- Contact decision makers. Use our social media links to contact politicians, heads of NGOs, trend setters and tell them you are convinced we could shape a less violent future, but we'll need leaders like them to make it happen.
- Tell Everyone. Our film should convince you that we can create a future without war. Tell people—friends and acquaintances—"we can end war, if we decide to do it."
