• What would you give them out of 3?• What have they done well?• What could they do to improve?

• 3 simple points. Or 1 PEA paragraph.

• Wrong just to sit back and allow situations of conflict to arise without taking action to prevent it / ‘blessed are the peacemakers’ / those in authority should be encouraged to look for peaceful solutions to problems / innocent people get killed or injured because of war / killing goes against teachings in sacred writings / first precept / ahimsa / Christians and Muslims should not seek revenge as it is wrong to return evil with evil / overcome evil with good / religious believers might make a difference / follow the example of believers e.g. Martin Luther King, Dalai Lama etc.

• Not practical for all religious believers to campaign for peace – some might / would governments take any notice / believers have other important things to do e.g. worship God / may support a Holy War / Just war / sometimes war in extreme cases might be the only way to stop the cruelty and injustice of a nation or leader e.g. Hitler and the holocaust / some Muslims believe in the lesser jihad to defend Islam and promote justice, etc.

• Two sided arguments are creditable but not required.
