About Peace and Conflict

GoConqr Original

What the resources cover

The listed material looks at how religion approaches war, peace and justice. The mind map Religion, peace and conflict opens with the mixed messages in the Bible about violence, then moves to absolute and conditional pacifism, with Quakers as an example of Christian pacifists. The mind map Peace and Conflict is wider. It takes in the UN and world peace, why wars occur, Just War, bullying, conflict in families and forgiveness.

Where to start

  1. Begin with a broad mind map such as Peace and Conflict to see the shape of the topic.
  2. Work through the flashcards. Religion War and Peace asks what peace, justice, pacifism and a Just War are, and what the Red Cross is.
  3. Move to a focused set such as Peace and Conflict - 3 - Reasons for War, which covers greed, self-defence and retaliation, with quotes from 1 Timothy and the Quran.
  4. Finish with the Just War Theory mind map, which lists conditions such as reasonable chance of success and war as a last resort.

Using maps and quizzes together

Read a map first, then close it and take a quiz. Quizzes such as Peace and Justice, War and Peace and Religion, peace and conflict definitions show quickly which terms you still mix up. Go back to the matching map or deck for those gaps, then retry.

The mind map Religious Studies - Ethics 2 Peace and Justice is useful for arguments. It sets out points for and against war, with quotes like 'Love thy enemies..' and 'Do not Murder'. Several resources mention AQA GCSE Religious Studies, so check your own course before relying on any one set.

They cover attitudes to war, Just War Theory, pacifism, holy war, Quakers and conscientious objectors, and causes of conflict. Some set out arguments for and against war, with Biblical references. There are more than 180 mind maps, so you can compare how different students have organised the topic.

Are the resources free to use?

Which exams do these resources suit?

The listed resources are aimed at secondary students. They mention GCSE Religious Studies and AQA GCSE Religious Studies. Exam boards differ in what they set, so compare any resource with your own course before you rely on it.

Who made these resources?

They were made by GoConqr users, including students and teachers, not by GoConqr itself. Over 260 contributors have added material, so styles and depth vary. Look at a few resources on the same subtopic and use whichever explains it most clearly.

What if I can't find what I need?

Try a nearby topic. Pacifism, Just War, Holy War and Reasons for War each have their own maps or decks, and the broader maps often cover the same ground. You can also make your own mind map, flashcards or notes.
