A Commentary on “An Antidote to Violence”

There is no lying when it comes to pointing that Spivack’s and Saunders’ evidence demonstrated a healthy correlation between a reduction of violence and Tm; with the studies even showcasing that the effects of non-violence and Tm are further amplified in groups of people.

With the rampant increase of school shooting over the past five years (the most recent being the Michigan School Shooting in Oxford High School), I wonder if it would be possible to integrate Tm in public schools systems: after all, since evidence shows that Tm greatly reduces violent tendencies within one’s self, would Tm be the gateway to healthy, non-destructive academic communities over the world?

Perhaps implementing an anti-violence campaign that endorses Tm would be beneficial in all schools throughout the United States. I plan to present this to my own school to see if the results match up with Spivack’s and Saunders’ evidence.
