They teach us of the way life was in the war, how terrible the danger was in Private Peaceful but also how incredible the peace felt in "The Best Christmas Present in the World", even if for only a day. They do have their differences but still give us the message of hope and to treasure what we have, as we may not have it for much longer. They have varied plots, themes and

Accountability: After reviewing the just war theory in relation to the war in Iraq, it is assessed the Iraq war did not meet the requirements for the Iraq war. Michael Walzer stated that, ‘the Iraq war was an unnecessary war and unnecessary wars are also unjust wars’ (Religion and Ethics news weekly, 2009, Online).

Few words are spoken in Kim Ki-duk’s Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring. Yet much is expressed regarding humankind’s relationship with nature. The slow-paced, contemplative movie explores key Buddhist principles, including rebirth and meditation, through the life of an apprentice monk.

Some conflicts on a global scale can lead to war, and others can be negotiated using peace. If you believe in only peace then you are a pacifist.

War is generally considered a to be a heinous act, a harbinger of death, destruction and disaster. War is often fought for ignorant reasons such as wealth and property, although defence and fighting for the greater good is often exhibited through history.
