The introductory section guides the teacher in presenting a video that portrays scenarios of conflict and violence. The video is intended for use as a discussion tool. Twenty-four teaching sessions are then outlined. For each session the teacher is provided information on objectives, an introductory statement on the topic, descriptions of learning activities for the session, materials needed for the session, and a summary closing statement for the session. The first session examines the pervasiveness of violence in American society and the effect violence has on the individual, followed by a session that defines conflict and violence, broadens students' perceptions of violence, and guides students in perceiving conflict as an opportunity rather than an obstacle. Another session is designed to identify differences/similarities between children's and adults' conflicts and portray some common methods that people use to handle conflict. A fourth session presents the rules for "fighting fair" and identifies the behaviors and verbal statements that escalate or contribute to conflict. Other sessions focus on particular principles and methods of conflict resolution, such as communication skills, listening skills, body language, mediation, and how to handle anger. A number of instructional sessions address particular types of violence or aggression and how to handle them; these situations include aggression between the sexes, date rape, sexual harassment, domestic violence, media violence, peer pressure, and cultural differences.
