Violence is a major concern since the rash of tragic murders in our schools. The media has been bombarded by various pundits offering soliloquies, many time sanctimonious, on the evils of this society.
The tendency is to fix the blame. Violence in the media, uncontrolled gun proliferation, unconcerned parents, police indifference are cited as some of the causes. Passing the buck is making bucks for those pointing out the "woes of this terrible society." As President Harry Truman said "The buck stops here!"
Whether we like it or not the global village is here to stay. The NRA has too much money and power for any real gun control to take place. Attacking parental negligence is like the minister berating his congregation about all the people who do not attend church. Most parents, educators and people involved in law enforcement care very much. Those who are unconcerned will not all of a sudden have qualms of conscience and become accountable. With billions of dollars on the line the media and video providers will, if we are lucky, make some cosmetic changes. Even those who present conflict resolution strategies are many times more theoretical than practical.
Why not enter a 21st century Winning Colors® communication, violence, prevention process?
The missing link: "identify the present behaviors" of people in order to predict their actions. The Winning Colors® Process does precisely this. Generally the Winning Colors® Process is used as means of personal and financial growth. However, like the bell curve, a negative outcome may result when a person has developed a part, or parts, of themselves in a negative manner.
Planner part of me!
If the Planner Part of Self is developed in a negative way, neglecting the
development of other Parts of Self the results may be: organizing grandiose plans of
destruction with paranoid, suicidal, schizoid, suspicious, distrustful ambient factors.
Persons with this paradigm of behaviors may seem quiet but are seething cauldrons inside
which may explode at any moment.
Builder part of me!
If the Builder Part of Self is developed in a negative way, neglecting the
development of other Parts of Self the results may be: sadistic, cruel, brutal treatment
of others. You have the bully or a clouter.
Relater part of me!
If the Relater Part of Self is developed in a negative way, neglecting the
development of other Parts of Self the results may be: maniacal, cutting remarks,
gossiping so as to destroy others. They will do anything to please from carrying a gun to
giving sexual satisfaction in order to belong.
Adventurer part of me!
If the Adventurer Part of Self is developed in a negative way, neglecting
the development of other Parts of Self the results may be: a psychopath, testing the
limits, slaughter of others for the thrill.
The above is but a thumbnail sketch of the power of the Winning Colors® Process. Unlike other Conflict Resolution programs, the Winning Colors® Process identifies person's present behaviors. From this anyone may quickly extrapolate what may be the actions taken: positive or negative. This is accomplished in a matter of seconds.

Would this have not been invaluable to have such information by those in such circumstances as Colorado and Oregon?
I am aware as a certified psychologist that this process does not replace psychological testing but it is an excellent effective thumbnail sketch available to anyone from 6 to 100+. The Winning Colors® Process is a quick and effective way to identify the danger signs when there is neither monies nor qualified personnel available for in depth analysis and testing.
The Winning Colors® Process is your powerful communication behavioral identification tool whether you are a teacher, parent, mentor, teen or concerned person.
