Forgiveness Among Individuals:
Forgiveness in Place of Revenge
What does it take to turn away from the desire for revenge?
"Forgiveness and
the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa"
Jeffrey Sonis, Ph.D., in the Department of Family Medicine at the
University of Michigan, proposes to study the potential role of
forgiveness in improving racial and ethnic tension. He will also
provide practical information to South Africa on the efficacy of
the Truth and Reconciliation process. Doing so may serve long-term
societal aims such as prevention of cycles of revenge, and development
of faith in the structure of the government. This study will identify
and follow victims of human rights abuses, half of whom testified
before the TRC and half of whom did not.
