Violence fills us with horror. Yet violence entertains us. How is this possible? Are human beings born violent? Or do we learn to do it? Most important of all: can we stop before we destroy each other? Can People Stop Being Violent? looks at how thinkers have tackled the problem of violence. From school shootings to giant robots, real and pretend violence are part of our everyday lives. Yet philosophers of nonviolence tirelessly work to show human beings a better way. Packed with 2500 years of wisdom and stories, Can People Stop Being Violent? challenges readers to think about their own ideas about violence.

Each book in the Thinking Aloud series will ask one simple question— one that ancient philosophers, song writers, poets, playwrights, scientists, theologians, jurists, world leaders, and others have tried to answer throughout human history. The aim of these books is to get kids to think critically, after considering answers from some of the greatest thinkers of today and yesterday. Each title includes thought provoking prompts, timelines, glossaries, and interesting sidebars.  Black and white and color photos are found throughout each book.  Additional web sites and further reading are also included.
