Non-Aggression Societies*
By Ruth Benedict
Anthropologist and Poet
Bededict's quote here is carried in Maps of the Mind by Charles
Hampden-Turner, Collier Books, New York, p. 148
"From all comparative material the conclusion emerges that societies where non-agression is conspicuous have social orders in which the individual by the same act and at the same time serves his own advantage and that of the group."
