Around the World

This important series helps young people gain an understanding of values as they increase in complexity beyond their own personal experiences. By learning to appreciate the diversity of cultures and faiths of the people around them, they will discover what it means to be part of a society. We see and hear news about conflict around the world on an almost daily basis. Discussions about peace and war encourage us to consider questions about human rights, the consequences of war, and how peace may be achieved. Case studies help readers put information into context, including the reasons civil wars break out and the circumstances that lead countries into global conflicts. Book jacket.
