In the study reported in this chapter, Hmong immigrants living in the United States completed the Personal and Institutional Rights to Aggression and Peace Survey (PAIRTAPS). Their perspectives on government acts of aggression, peace and protest, national security, torture, and violence were documented. The Hmong people have had their agrarian lifestyle dramatically altered by war and relocation. The vestiges of their past lifestyle can be seen as they struggle to create a new lifestyle in a new country. Immigration issues such as poverty, lack of employment, literacy, illegal status, acceptance, and integration into society to avoid discrimination and racism continue to plague this population. Recent immigrants have experienced the ravages of war, the continued effects of poverty, fear, and feelings of displacement that come from living in refugee camps, and the pervasive sense of uncertainty that can simply wear down the human spirit as they struggle to make sense out of their new surroundings. The participants in this study echo a desire for safety, a belief in peace, and the important role that peace plays in life along with the need for governance.
