This study derives from South African experience an analysis of techniques for heightening racial tensions. The basic processes are: (1) the heightening of racial consciousness by systematically extending the range of activities in which racial identity is relevant, & indeed crucial, eg marriage, sex relations, worship, study, trade, residence etc, (2) the application of positive & negative sanctions to reward & punish observance of the racial conditions attaching to soc relationships, (3) the channelling of heightened race consciousness in the direction of racial prejudice, by fostering unfavorable racial stereotypes, by explicit ideology, & by the concept of the inevitability of conflict in contact situations involving members of diff races, & (4) the interaction of prejudice & discrimination in a selfperpetuating mechanism, systematic racial discrimination intensifying sentiments of racial prejudice which seek expression in extended discrimination, so that discrimination & prejudice feed on each other. A discussion of relations between prejudice & discrimination which might give rise to overconformity is presented, & an application of the findings to the reduction of tensions by legislative action against discrimination Is suggested.

An analysis of inter-generation (I-G) relations in Israeli society, particularly in regard to the existence & solution of I-G tensions both in the older Jewish community of the period before the establishment of the State of Israel & among the new immigrant youth who came to Israel after the establishment of the new State. In the process of adaptation of immigrants into a community there is a diminution of the family's effectiveness in satisfying the needs & desires of its members, especially the youthful members, & there exists limitation of specific youth groups & youth culture. Within the Jewish community in Palestine there are many types of youth groups & youth movements differing in their goals & values,_ their manner of internal organization & in the degree to which they are considered legitimate in the soc structure.
