THOMAS J. LASLEY II is Professor and Endowed Chair of the Department of Teacher Education at the University of Dayton in Ohio./e He is the coauthor of numerous books including Biting the Apple: Accounts of First Year Teachers (1980) and A Handbook for Developing Schools With Good Discipline (1982) and the editor of Issues in Teacher Education (1986).
Lasley shows how American culture fosters selfishness, aggression, and violence. He believes that selflessness can and should be taught in the home and in the schools as an antidote to the individualism and tribalism that multicultural diversity can lead to. Without a certain cultural and personal respect for the other, the myriad racial, ethnic, and ideological differences could tear American society apart. Lasley uses ethnological examples of non-Western societies that stress nonviolence to elucidate models of peaceful behavior. He provides ways and means of teaching peaceful principles by using the literature of altruism and the images of service and other-directed activities.
Explains how parents and teachers can instill attitudes of selflessness and nonaggression in the younger generation.
