In fact, it prevent us from helping children to analyse conflict, to learn to cope with it and
counter it.
Children have always known that there is conflict in the adult world.
However, the make-believe world that 19th century rationally imposed on childhood in
Europe and which we impose in an institutionalised manner through our modern
education system can hardly be described as related in this regard.
We may therefore conclude that conflict in an institutionalised manner is not a matter of
faith in children's capacities, rather, it is a lack of faith in ourselves as adults.
Further, psychologists tell us and story tellers have always known that the child's desire to
search for order and coherence gathers strength from the knowledge of conflict.

Critics decry the fact that a major development institution appears to absorb more capital
than it distributes to borrowers.

instrument for distribution of development-aid money.
One of the key complaint focuses on this non-profit bank's recent "profitability"
Although the lives of millions of people around the globe have been improved by the
bank's activities, it is now under fire.
The bank is also being blamed for large-scale involuntary resettlement to make way for
dams and other construction projects.
