I/G/ N and A/B/V questions
How does conflict make an individual face moral choices?
Is it always inevitable that they will face moral choices?
What moral issues arise?

Does this differ depending on the type of conflict?
Why does conflict make individuals face moral issues?

I is just individuals, or is it also groups/ nations that face moral issues?
How does your position in conflict (A, B or V) affect the moral choices you face?
– Aggressors
– How the engage in the conflict
– Where the boundary is b/w a soldier and a killer
– Victims
– How they will survive?
– Do they stand up? Or sit by?
– How much do I compromise my values in order to life? Is comfort an issue?
– Bystanders
– Do I get involved?
– If so how do I get involved?
– If I do decide to do something, am I doing to feed my conscious or to help the person? Are these one and the same?
Step 4: Plan -> remember there needs to be a thread.
