The Teach Peace Framework — Overview

At its core, Teach Peace applies one test to any human decision, policy, or institution: does this increase or decrease the level of peace in human society? The test is deliberately simple and deliberately secular — it does not require agreement on religion, politics, or philosophy, only a willingness to evaluate outcomes honestly.

The framework is organized around two companion bodies of inquiry:

1. Institutional analysis — examining government, law, business, education, religion, media, healthcare, and other major institutions through the peace-metric lens.
2. Human-condition analysis — examining personal and interpersonal patterns (conflict, judgment, forgiveness, greed, fear, belonging) that shape whether peace increases or decreases at the individual level.

Together these form the basis of two structured workbooks — one built around institutional and human-condition questions across eighteen sections, and one built around fifty short reflective questions — designed for classroom use, independent study, or curriculum development.

Proposed academic application: a curriculum track running from the undergraduate level through the doctorate, using the peace metric as an evaluative tool across existing disciplines rather than as a stand-alone belief system. The goal is not to replace any field of study but to add a consistent, cross-disciplinary lens — the same test applied equally to economics, law, government, education, and personal conduct.

The framework does not require institutional funding to exist — the manuscript and workbooks are complete — but it does require an academic home willing to test, refine, and teach it.
