The resources traditions offer for peacemaking, and the tension between those teachings and the conflicts in which traditions have been involved.
These are the statements the Studies of Religion II syllabus makes about Religion and Peace. Dux records each one against the questions you answer, so you can see which of them you have actually been tested on and which have never been asked.
The scriptural and doctrinal basis for peacemaking in a tradition, distinguished from general goodwill.
Specific individuals and organisations who have applied the tradition's peace teaching, and what they actually achieved.
The arguments traditions use to permit or prohibit violence, and how those arguments have been applied and abused.
How traditions relate to one another, and the difference between tolerance, dialogue and conversion.
The tension between a tradition's peace teaching and its involvement in conflict, which the best responses confront rather than avoid.
What a tradition's teaching on peace asks of an individual, as distinct from what it asks of states.
HSC Studies of Religion II - Trial Paper Shape is 100 marks in 180 minutes. Questions on Religion and Peace are not one shape repeated: the command word decides what the marker is looking for, and the mark value decides how much of it. These are the ones Studies of Religion II uses.
Dux writes practice for this module in exactly these shapes, so the drill is the same task the paper sets — not a general knowledge quiz with the module name on it.
Religion and Peace is module 3 of 4 in Studies of Religion II. Students routinely lose marks because a question spans two modules, so the neighbouring modules are worth reading next to this one.
Dux diagnoses Studies of Religion II dot point by dot point, then writes questions in the shape this course marks. Written answers come back marked against the bands.
