 Preventing another Columbine
Elliot Aronson, PhD, vividly remembers a telephone conversation he had shortly after the Columbine shootings: His grandson told him that his school principal had warned students to be on the lookout for "weirdo" students like Columbine shooters Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold who were looking or acting strangely.
Creating such distrust and competition in schools is the wrong way to prevent violence--in fact, it does the opposite by breeding a "poisonous social atmosphere" of bullying, humiliation and rejection that spurs violence, he said.
A better model, Aronson argued, is one that encourages students to learn from and respect their diverse peers, rather than single out those who are different.

In writing this book, Aronson not only demonstrates his wide-ranging knowledge of Social Psychology, but also attempts (very successfully, in my opinion) to transmit to the reader his infectious enthusiasm for the subject.
By consciously choosing not to employ pretentious language (alas, the bane of academia!), Aronson allows the subject to speak for itself.
It would not be an overexaggeration to say that having read this book during my freshman year in college was one of the first in a series of steps that culminated in my decision to go on to graduate school in Social Psychology.
