1. WAR PEACE
and
By Rachel Wilson

2. Types of war:
Holy/ Religious wars- fights between religious
groups; arguing there religion is better or tells
them to fight.
Just War- a war that is justified, and is the last
resort after other action has been taken.
No War- Pacifists who say all war and violence
is wrong.

3. Rules of a just war
Conditions:-
1) War must be started by the authority of the
state of ruler.
2) Just cause: there must be a reason why those
being attacked are so.
3) The war promotes good or evil. Peace and
justice is restored afterwards.

4. Christian rules added later:
Once all solutions are tried, war must be the
last resort.
The war must be ‘proportional’ for the side
being fought.
There must be a greater gain than the evil
that led to war.

5. Pacifism
A pacifist believes all war and fighting is
wrong. Sometimes during remembrance
day, they may wear a white poppy instead of a
red one.
Quakers are the most associated with
pacifism. They are a Christian church that is
completely pacifist.

Deterrence- may stop the criminal from
committing crimes again.

won back.
Reform- a chance for the criminals to try
again and change for the better.

7. Capital Punishment
