Abstract

With the increasing pace of globalisation, the world is becoming smaller. It has become near impossible for human beings to live in the comfortable cocoons offered by their own communities, cultures, religions, and countries. Diversity in cultures and ethnicities often promote feelings of 'otherness' and misinterpretation of needs, values, intentions, and expectations of the other person resulting in disputes and subsequently aggrandizing feelings of hatred and contempt. Workplace settings are no exception to this. The present article reviews the concept of cultural intelligence and its implications in the organisational milieu. Right from negotiations to leadership, cultural intelligence has been found to be a critical skill, enhancing task performance and workplace adjustment in this multicultural environment.

Keywords

Cultural Intelligence, Intercultural Competence, Multicultural Organisations, Organisational Implications.

Abstract

Peace psychology is still an emerging domain on the larger sphere of psychology. The present paper tries to locate peace in psychology and education as it is gaining momentum in the research paradigm given the backdrop of increased violent and terrorist activities. Peace building and peacemaking are strategies that can be learned and thus including the concept of peace in the modem day pedagogical systems can prove to be very instrumental to come up with alternatives to conflicts at both individual and societal levels. We have further tried to evaluate and make some suggestions for peace education curriculum conceptualizing it in the Indian settings through a Gandhian perspective.

Keywords

Peace Psychology, Peace Education Curriculum, Gandhian Perspective.
