Thus it is generally desirable to try to avoid internalizing conflict within people. It is not helpful to introject values which are in conflict with essential human instincts. It is not helpful to introject values which are in conflict with each other in the absence of an ultimate value which can be the basis for negotiations between conflicting values. Conflict- resolution is based upon the identification of transcendent values. The generation of consensus about top level priorities which can help resolve conflicts between secondary priorities is thus very important. Much of the violence within a society probably could be traced to internalized conflicts. Thus one means to reduce violence within a society is to articulate priorities, transcendent values, in terms of which to arbitrate between the poles of the internalized conflicts. True conflict resolution is much more likely to be effective than is any means which involves repression of inclinations to be violent---because such repressive means will inevitably introject values which are in conflict with the value of expressing frustrations through violence. Repression thus internalizes conflict and so generates the motivation for the expression of frustration through violence. Repression designed to minimize violence will often tend to generate more violence; although of different forms that the form which was intentionally repressed. It is not so much that there is a quota of violence to be expressed, as it is that until the internalized conflicts are resolved there is frustration which is likely to lead to behavior which violates the environment---objects, people, and other living creatures. The reduction of violence may best be accomplished through conflict-resolution---not only of conflict between people, but also of conflict internal to individuals. Such resolution is possible only in terms of values which are acknowledged to transcend the values which are in conflict with each other. Thus consensus about appropriate ultimate concern is essential to the reduction of violence through true conflict-resolution. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
