“Planners and designers should encourage as much diversity in human habitats as they find in animal habitats. It is not possible to resolve all conflicts or to gain all ends. Choices have to be made. Different aspects of the public good should be stressed in different places.

Relationships between the constructive professions should, therefore, be deconstructed.” ShouldHumansMadeDifferentEndsUseChoicesDecisionAnimalTreeLandAchieveConflictDiversityGainsAspectPatternsProfessionVarietyDesignerDecision MakingResolveConstructiveStressedDifferent PlaceHabitatBiodiversityPlannersPublic GoodLand Use Author:Tom Turner

“How very important it is to bring about in the human mind the radical revolution. The crisis is a crisis in consciousness, a crisis that cannot anymore accept the old norms, the old patterns, the ancient traditions. Considering what the world is now with all the misery, conflict, destructive brutality, aggression and so on... man is still as he was, is still brutal, violent, aggressive, acquisitive, competitive and has built a society along these lines.” MenWorldMindHumansStillsImportantCommunityLinesConsciousnessAcceptingSocietyRevolutionConflictBuiltTraditionCrisisMiseryAncientPatternsViolentRadicalDestructiveHuman MindAggressiveAggressionBrutalConsideringNormBrutalityZeitgeist Author:Jiddu Krishnamurti
“We must look towards societies that set a high value on nonaggression and noncompetitive ness, and therefore handle conflicts by nonviolent means.
