  1. Objective To use media clips, an acronym and real life scenarios to understand the criteria of a just war and decide whether a war can ever be just.

  2. Outcomes Grade C All will be able to define the term just war and list the criteria of such. Grade B Most will be able to explain why the just war theory is important and identify the main problems with the theory. Grade A/A* Some will be able to assess whether war can ever be ‘just’ and give an opinion on whether people should ever go to war. Your GOALS for the end of this lesson are…

  3. Starter… Decide whether you would class the following acts as morally RIGHT or WRONG.

  4. STEALING/THEFT

  5. I stole some aid off someone else in my village to feed my children. They hadn’t eaten properly in days and I was worried that if they didn't eat soon they would die. Was I WRONG?

  6. ADULTERY/CHEATING What about your wife? She will never know!

  7. The vicar who has found new love as his wife fights dementia This time last year, just as the clocks had turned back and the cold, dark nights were drawing in, Terry Murphy returned to his home and sat in solitary silence, contemplating all the little things he would miss about Mo, his wife of 40 years, now that she was gone for ever. Although physically healthy, she no longer recognises her husband or even knows that she was ever married. Apart from the odd ‘thank you’ or ‘lovely’, she is unable to communicate or perform even basic tasks, such as going to the toilet or washing, without the help of staff at the home. She has, indeed, gone for ever — into what, for the husband who still adores her, seems a living death. Bereft at his loss, the 66-year-old retired Baptist minister found his thoughts turning to suicide. Mother-of-two Merion Dance, 61, has known Terry professionally for more than a decade thanks to his work as a chaplain for the fire service, where she works as a fire safety administrator. Merion’s husband died almost four years ago, and, over the past 11 months, she and Terry have formed a close relationship. There have been dinner dates and cinema trips, and they have recently returned from their first holiday together, in Mallorca. It would take a hard heart to begrudge Terry moving on with his life and finding a new love, even if it is only a year since Mo was lost to him. And there lies the issue. For Terry’s wife is not dead. A few miles away, Mo, a 65-year-old former primary school teacher and the mother of Terry’s two children, is in a care home in the final stages of dementia. Is he doing WRONG?

  8. MURDER/KILLING

  9. Muammar Gaddafi was the official ruler of Libya from 1969 to 2011. Gaddafi gained power through violent means. Gaddafi promised a better life for his people, however all he did was oppress and abuse them! http://news.sky.com/home/world-news/article/16094514 Did the man who killed him do WRONG?

  10. WAR – Right OR Wrong? War brings real problems for people, especially religious believers. Some that war is ALWAYS WRONG, while others maintain that wars, although awful, may sometimes have to be fought.

  11. The JUST WAR theory This concept has always existed. Any person going to war would always work out if it was worth the expense in lives, money and land they would gain. The theory was developed by Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-74) who suggested a war was morally just or right if it met three criteria (this was later added to and today there are SEVEN). What might be the ‘right reasons’? Make a list What might be the ‘right way’? Make a list What do you think is meant by a ‘JUST WAR’? A war which is fought for the right reasons and in the right way?

  12. Outcomes Grade C All will be able to define the term just war. Did you achieve YOUR goal?…

  13. So what's the criteria? TURN to PAGE 7 in your WORK BOOKLET

  14. Acronym to remember this theory.. Stewie, PeterandChris Love Eating RedJam

  15. S SUFFICIENT FORCE! Must be used.

  16. P The war must be fought by the PROPER AUTHORITY.

  17. c There must be CONTROLLED VIOLENCE.

  18. A war is just if it is begun as the LAST RESORT l

  19. E It must be fought toESTABLISH GOOD.

  20. R There must be a REASONABLE CHANCE OF SUCCESS.

  21. j The war must be fought for a JUST CAUSE.

  22. Decide whether you think each of the criteria of a just war is a RIGHT TO GO TO WAR or is CONDUCT DURING WAR by adding a TICK into the correct column. Now complete this column... Try to explain each of the criteria in your own words and why it might be seen as JUST Complete this column FIRST LIST the seven criteria we have just looked at.

  23. Outcomes Grade C All will be able to define the term just war and list the criteria of such. Did you achieve YOUR goal?…

  24. Using the following slides to complete this column and check the rest of your work... If you got it right just add a TICK 

  25. Stewie= Sufficient Force It would not be proportional to drop a nuclear weapon on a small country for invading a small island. The force used must be proportional to the cause, surroundings and scale of the war. Conduct during war

  26. Peter and = Proper Authority The politicians or authority must make the most important decisions to ensure the war remains fair and just. Right to go to war

  27. Chris = Controlled Violence Every effort must be made to make sure that as little violence as possible is used to achieve victory and methods should AVOID KILLING CIVILIANS. No weapons of mass destruction! Conduct during war

  28. Love = Last Resort All non violent means of solving the conflict must have been tried and failed before you turn to war Right to go to war

  29. Eating = Establish Good . It must be fought to restore peace. A war can be fought if it is believed that it would prevent a greater evil. Most people argue that Britain and her allies, by taking on the Nazi regime of Adolf Hitler, prevented greater evil from happening Right to go to war

  30. Red = Reasonable chance of success You cannot go to war and waste the lives of brave soldiers for something which you have very little chance of winning, lives should not be wasted. Right to go to war

  31. Jam = Just Cause The war must be started for a good reason – e.g. self-defence, and not because of greed. Right to go to war

  32. Outcomes Grade C All will be able to define the term just war and list the criteria of such. Did you achieve YOUR goal?…

  33. WHY is the JUST WAR theory important? Come up with ONE reason YOU think the JUST WAR theory is important. SHARE it with two other people. SHARE it with the group – ensure you have FOUR ideas in total.

  34. WHY is the JUST WAR theory important? It provides GUIDELINES for when a war can be classed as morally right. It gives the conflicts participants RULES they must keep to.- - e.g. Not to kill innocent people It outlines the RIGHTS people have in conflict. It makes war as HUMANE as possible – ensuring not too many people are harmed.

  35. Outcomes Grade B Most will be able to explain why the just war theory is important. Did you achieve YOUR goal?…

  36. What’s the PROBLEM? Using the picture clues IDENTIFYFOUR PROBLEMS with the just war theory. The existence of modern weapons including WEAPONS OF MASS DISTRUCTION means that large numbers of people are killed. There is NEVER a MORALLY GOOD REASON for killing others. Some AUTHORITIES will go to war claiming it is for a JUST CAUSE when really it is AGRESSION and they could have found better ways of solving their problems. All wars are VIOLENT and DANGEROUS therefore the just war is no longer relevant – it never was.

  37. What’s the PROBLEM? The main problem with the JUST WAR theory is that both sides in a war may claim that their cause is ‘just’. For example in WW2 Hitler claimed the Nazis were right and just in what they fought for, just as the allied forces did. We are fighting for a JUST CAUSE! NO!!! We are fighting for a JUST CAUSE!

  38. Outcomes Grade B Most will be able to identify the main problems with a just war. Did you achieve YOUR goal?…

  39. http://www.truetube.co.uk/film/id-do-it-peace What would you fight for? Would you fight for PEACE? Is it ever right to fight? Do you think ALL wars are JUST? Complete QUESTION 1 PAGE 80 Swap with a partner and mark each others work in GREEN PEN The type of question (B) and the marks for each question (P-E-P-E) Please comment – giving a POSITIVE and a TARGET

  40. More recently, the just war theory has been used and manipulated by skilful leaders to justify their actions and to suggest that what they have done is God’s will. ‘This will be a monumental struggle of good verses evil, but good will prevail’ . Said after the invasion of Iraq – Bush declared the USA as the force of good and enemies of the USA as the ‘axis of evil’. In response, Osama bin Laden, the leader of the al-Qaeda declared... ‘I swear by almighty God....that neither the United Sates nor he who lives in the United States will enjoy security before...all the infidel armies leave the land of Muhammad.’ Does God take sides in war?

  41. Outcomes Grade A/A* Some will be able to assess whether war can ever be ‘just’ and give an opinion on whether people should ever go to war. Did you achieve YOUR goal?…
