Robert L. Humphrey was an Iwo Jima veteran, Harvard graduate, and cross cultural conflict resolution specialist during the Cold War. He proposed the "Dual Life Value Theory" of Human Nature.From the experiences of childhood in the Great Depression, trips as a teenager in the Panamanian Merchant Marines, national-class boxing, the awe-inspiring sights of selfless sacrifice on Iwo Jima, and finally, fifteen years in overseas ideological warfare, Humphrey observed that universal values exist and, ultimately control human behavior. Humphrey is a graduate of Wisconsin University, Harvard Law School, and the Fletcher School of Diplomacy.At the beginning of the Cold War, he left a teaching position at MIT to help lead the struggle against Communism. Finding that U.S. education was contributing to, rather than reducing, American overseas problems, he developed a new leadership approach that overcame Ugly American syndrome among hundreds of thousands in crucial Third World areas. More recently, his methodology won commendations for educating the alleged uneducable: Mexican-American street-gang youths in southern California, and Canadian Native teenage dropouts.Until Communism's fall, Humphrey kept his new methods confidential. Those methods are significant: (1) From his experiences with young infantrymen in heavy combat, and with the peasants in many villages of the world, he perceived humankind's basic goodness that philosophers have missed or under-rated. (2) In place of compartmentalized, primarily mental education, Humphrey has developed a human-nature-guided (moral, physical, artistic, mental) approach. "...[A] strong values system is the most precious weapon of all. Nobody understood this more than Bob Humphrey...." -- General Charles C. Krulak, 31st Commandant of the United States Marine Corps "Bob Humphrey's Life Values theory represents the clearest...explanation of human nature in the last three thousand years of philosophy." -- Colman Genn, Center for Educational Innovation and former Superintendant, New York City School System "Professor Humphrey's fresh look at human nature gives us...methods to break down walls between groups in conflict...." -- William S. Sessions, former Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation I first encountered Professor Robert L. Humphrey about fifteen years ago as a graduate student in San Diego, California. I was taking a Masters Degree in Business Administration, and I wondered how "Cross-Cultural Relations" could be justified as a bona-fide course requirement. I was an active duty Marine Officer at that time and had been, literally, around the world. I had heard about enough of the "touchy-feely" bromides that passed for enlightened liberalism. Frankly, I was a hostile audience. Suddenly, however, as Bob Humphrey talked, I felt that prickly sensation on the back of my neck. It was powerful, and really quite physical. The things that he said, the stories he told, touched me in a way that has changed me forever. I was stunned to hear him explain, clearly and matter-of-factly, the meaning of life. He called his theory variously "The Life Value," or Life Values, Dual Life Value or Balanced Life Value. I sometimes think of them, now, simply as "Living Values." As I came to know him and his personal history, I was amazed to hear that he had addressed, literally, hundreds of thousands of people over the years. His Life Value Theory and teaching methods had been used successfully to stop violence and promote cross-cultural harmony, world-wide. Captain Jack E. Hoban, USMCR -- Captain Jack E. Hoban, USMCR Robert Humphrey was a child of the Great Depression. Those were the days when life's lessons were learned in the school of hard knocks. He earned money as a semi-professional boxer. He rode freight trains, worked in the Citizens Conservation Corps (the CCCs), and finally joined the Merchant Marines. Those experiences got him through his youth, worldly-wise but morally sound. He transferred into the US Marines during World War II. There, as a rifle-platoon leader on Iwo Jima, he passed the ultimate course in life-and-death values. Near the war's end, a gunshot-wound ended his hopes for a professional boxing career. He was discharged from the Marines. For twelve years he passed through eight colleges and universities "searching, just searching." He was looking for answers to that eternal question: "Why?" Why that terrible Depression that devastated his peaceful little hometown? Why that insanity on Iwo Jima that killed most of his Marine friends? He took a Harvard Law degree and settled into teaching Economics at MIT. Then came the Cold War with the predictions that the Communists would win. He went back overseas to see if his global experiences would guide him in solving America's self-defeating Ugly Americanism. All through the first crucial Cold-War decades, his contracts were financed--success after success--by the US Information Service, the Chrysler Missile C
