Overview
In this week's required resources, we have explored situations when using force or warfare is justified for particular reasons. We have also considered how peace can be achieved and how it can be sustained in the long term. This assignment will help you express your opinion about a question related to war, conflict, neutrality, and peace while considering how your culture and ethical frameworks influence your opinions.
