The solution can be found in the book: "Complete Conduct Principles for the 21st Century" by Dr. John Newton.
Let's work together to make the world peaceful and better!
In recent years school violence has made many pieces of nation-shaking highlighted headline news, which have astounded the Americans. It may happen at any school, at any time, and by students of any age. Some experts believe this is the most important national crisis the U.S. is facing.
"In the 21st century the problem will happen not only continuously in the U.S. but also in lots of other countries all over the world, if we do not act." said Dr. John Newton in the late 20th century. Recent tragedies have proved this warning prediction.
"The most effective and proper way to solve the problem is appropriate conduct education." said Dr. Newton.
"The significance of the problem" is much more important than "the number of people killed in schools".
In addition to shooting and killing, other kinds of school violence, such as rape, sexual assault, aggravated assault, robbery, bullying, mugging, fighting, theft, harassment, ..., and other youth problems, like suicide, suicide attempt, suicide inclination, pessimism, sense of inferiority, lose of self-control, relationship problems, emotion problems, drug abuse, discrimination, ..., cannot be ignored, either.
Some measures may handle a few "symptoms" temporarily and partially but are not solutions for education, particularly in view of our responsibilities for the whole society.
Now an effective, proper, comprehensive, deep-rooted and permanent solution is needed!
California School Boards Association and New Jersey State Department of Education are taking an active action to prevent school violence, to improve education and to benefit students & teachers --- they have officially ordered a book ttitled "Complete Conduct Principles for the 21st Century" by Dr. John Newton.
The book is regarded as "the very one that can effectively help solve the problem of school violence in a right way" by some experts in education, including Dr. Steve White, who pointed out clearly: "If students, teachers and parents can learn the conduct principles in this book well, then that 'unsolvable' problem will be solved. It is not difficult at all to learn them, because the book is a simple, easy, clear, convenient and self-contained handbook, well designed to suit most people." The book was also praised as "a compendium of concisely expressed, practical, informative, pertinent, workable advice" by Michael J. Carson, a professional book reviewer.
The book will be effective for violence prevention for the whole society, too. Moreover, the book "not only helps solve some most important current problems," said Dr. Nancy Morrison, an expert in education, "but also helps people prepare appropriate conduct for the 21st century."
"As a manifestation of the deep character crisis that many of our children are facing today, we must strengthen character education within the home, local communities and schools." said the State of Oklahoma Office of the Governor; "Thus the Governor (Frank Keating) applauds" the "efforts" of "Complete Conduct Principles for the 21st Century" by Dr. John Newton.
"We recognize the merit and importance of your book 'Complete Conduct Principles for the 21st Century' in the fight against school violence. We hope that you will continue to be a force in the fight," said Louisiana State Superintendent Cecil J. Picard just one day after Louisiana's school shooting; "We wish you the best in this endeavor."
Recently school violence has made many pieces of nation-shaking highlighted headline news, which have astounded the Americans. Some experts believe this is the most important national crisis the U.S. is facing. "Research shows that gun control and school security actions, the ways governments and schools are taking, cannot solve the problem; worse, they may increase the resistant minds of some students. The most effective and proper way to solve the problem is appropriate conduct education."
Also recently, President Bill Clinton's affair has significantly raised people's interest in the questions: What is good conduct? What is bad conduct?
Research predicts the society of the 21st century will be very different from the 20th's. Facing the new society, we have a new challenge: What is good conduct in the 21st century?
"Complete Conduct Principles for the 21st Century" offers a solution to these problems. It intends not only to help solve some of the most important current problems, but also to be "a needful preparation for everyone's personal conduct for the 21st century". Good conduct induces a lot of benefits to each individual, such as for health, work, job, career, etc., particularly in the new century. This timely and unique handbook is designed to suit most people. The complete useful conduct principles cover not only what we should do, but also what we should not do -- especially those faults people make often and easily.
In addition to author's own thoughts and acquirements, the book also includes the best conduct minds, souls and spirits in both the Eastern and the Western cultures, different from each other; a fine and careful blend of those also produces some other novel results. This best suits the highly internationalized, multiracial and multicultural inter-blended society in the 21st century, and may also help solve problems that Western culture cannot.
"I appreciate the research efforts you have made in order to write this comprehensive and at the same time very clear set of principles. No doubt the world would be a better place to live in if people were to follow these conduct principles." said the Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg of Norway in a letter to Dr. John Newton, the author of a new book titled "Complete Conduct Principles for the 21st Century". Norway confers Nobel Peace Prize every year, and is striving for a better world.
"I would like to congratulate you on an excellent piece of work and research. For me it will certainly serve as a reference in my preparation of the many speeches I have to make focussing on the challenges of the new century and the new Millennium."
"Addressing youth violence remains a top priority for the President and his Administration. There is no task more urgent, and every one of us is a part of the solution. We must begin by working with parents, students, teachers, public officials, and entertainment leaders to counter the culture of violence with a culture of values. We must teach our nation's young people how to express anger and alienation with words, not weapons." said U.S. First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton on October 16, 2000 in a specific letter outlining her new direction to Dr. Tom Carter, president of Nicer Century World Organization and the publisher of a new book titled "Complete Conduct Principles for the 21st Century" by Dr. John Newton; "Raising our children is our most important job and all of us must work to create a climate in our country that is good for children."
National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP), School Improvement Program, has ordered the book, "Complete Conduct Principles for the 21st Century" by Dr. John Newton. NASSP is the U.S. largest school leadership organization, representing middle level and high school principals and assistant principals; its mission is "promoting excellence in school leadership".
"We fully agree that the answer to today's problems in the schools is not gun control or school security." commented Dr. Pam Blosser, an educator dedicated to the education of spiritual maturity and intuition quotient (new IQ created by her and her associates); "There is definitely a movement toward being more thoughtful, altruistic and elevated, through Random Acts of Kindness, the movie 'Play it Forward' and the whole Chicken Soup for the Soul series, and now Complete Conduct Principles for the 21st Century. ... Spiritual maturity is the quest for all of us, and this is accomplished by self-awareness and self-discipline. We have the power to change ourselves, and this is how we change the world. I'm very interested in Complete Conduct Principles for the 21st Century".
American Camping Association, whose mission is "enriching the lives of children and adults through the camp experience", has ordered a new book titled "Complete Conduct Principles for the 21st Century" by Dr. John Newton as conduct education and youth development materials. "Good conduct can be key to creating a nicer camp, a nicer school, or even a nicer century ..." stated ACA; "This book carefully outlines many suggestions for becoming more courteous, more considerate, more ethical, and hence less inconsiderate, less discourteous, and even less violent." ACA further recommends: "Read it yourself and see how these principles can help your staff and campers be part of a 'nicer century'."
"I felt moved while reading the book, because I could see John in it. We always have great respect for him because of his personal conduct, self-discipline, kindness, compassion ...
I will use the book to teach our children, to remind ourselves of good conduct, and to affect our friends and other people. Thank you, John, for writing it!
All the words couldn't really describe how I appreciate John's writing and your friendship.
I will treasure both of them for the rest of my life!"
Thank you for the comment. I as well as Dr. John Newton always sincerely respect the Bible and its value. "Complete Conduct Principles for the 21st Century" has something new for the 21st century, while the two books have many similar spirits. It is better to make judgment after careful reading. I hope the book will be helpful to your respectable endeavor.
Sincerely,
Tom Carter, Ph.D.
President, Nicer Century World Organization
