Abstract
This essay considers the psychological effects on children of growing up in a society that expresses violence while it professes peace and order. Even those children not directly affected by social upheaval or instability are seen at serious risk of inadequate ego development when the social reality they perceive diverges sharply from the values they are taught. Action and education by adults congruent with the values they espouse are suggested as a first step toward facilitating the integration of ego functioning in their children.Keywords
