テロに怯えながら : 北アイルランド、ベルファーストの聖十字小学校紛争から危機における人間心理の形成を考える

抄録

Belfast school riots were happened last year (2001). Troubles between Protestant (Loyalist) and Catholic residents (Nationalist) have continued for about forty years and many peoples were killed and injured in Northern Ireland. But everybody are surprised in this case, because grown men and women are hurling missiles at schoolgirls. It seems by television that very young children are shockedand psychologically hurt. And it is obvious that hostility may be reproduced and continued thorough generations. I studied the mechanism of mental hostility. Holy Cross Catholic primary school islocated in the Loyalist area. The Protestant residents of the Ardoyne in north-Belfast are angry that Catholic parentsare walking their children to school past their houses. Why are the Protestantsso angry? The Ardoyne is area with a small Protestant enclave. Members of theloyalist community claim that Catholicsare intimidating them to force them to leave the area. The attacks are fundamentally about territory. Protestants arerefusing to allow Catholics to walk on "their" streets and Catholics insisting on the right to do so. For the third consecutive day, Wednsday, September 5 2001, a blast bomb was thrown at police lines while Catholic children passed by them on their way to the Holy Cross primary school. Several children, some as youngas four, immediately burst into tears and terrified. And some of the kids havesuffered an immediate traumatic response. Holy Cross Girls primary school (Catholic) and Wheatfield primary (Protestant) school are separated by only a few paces, Ardoyne road. The schools have a longand successful history of working together. But over ten weeks many students of-Wheatfield school with their patents attacked schoolgirls of Holy Cross school. How can we find a good educational way-to resolve mental conflicts?
