It Will, profit us at this time. to
•• consider the arguments for'. and
against pacifisrn, Pacifism is the
argument that, no matter what ..
the circumstances, it is always -
morally Wrong
lwaysnorallywrong to fight•in''a 'war;
Pacifists have been known' to drive
arnbulancs or toassist otherwise •
in a wateffort, but they refuse to
take up a gun and fight and kill;
A non-pacifist••ii not ,eager for war -
not a wa.r-monger, but•one who :;..
believes w•e •ought toparticipate in
a''war in certain circumstances: If'
all nonpacifists were• convinced•:
that an aggressor 'could be stopped
by any other way.,, we would all'
be pacifists.
Let us examine. the '.arguments
for'both sides:
