Ansley listened to each answer as many of the students provided them. They were all on the right track and he didn't have too much to say to each one individually, especially as they all said similar things. Instead, he summarized and compiled the answers on the board to discuss them collectively.

• Opposing parties wanted control over power

• Some people think that they are better and should be treated differently. They fight to make themselves superior and to conquer the world.

• To make a stand for what is right, for equality

• A difference in opinions, and then the arguments became violent

• Believing they're fighting for the right cause or for more power

• A change in society, or more power or rights. They're fighting for a purpose

• Prejudice and intolerance

• One party believes that their gods are the right ones and anybody who opposes them and their ways should be killed
"Nice work, everyone," he said gesturing to the board. "As you can see, most of you feel that wars and battles are started when there are opposing sides to what each feels passionately about, so much so that disagreements turned violent. But why would someone feel that going to war is necessary over something that they believe in? War is filled with death, strife, and sacrifice... Are there some things that are truly worth that?" He certainly wasn't saying that there wasn't. Just more of a hypothetical question for them to think on to further the discussion.

And one more question before the real fun could begin. "Is there anything that you find so important that you would be willing to go to war for?"
