The Chroniclers Community is searching for solutions to conflicts, fights, battles, disagreements, quarrels, out right war and other human activities that diminish peace.

The Solutions Framework is useful for outlining a problem and follows this format:

Problem Identification

Armed Conflict Kills

Why We Care?

Irrespective of the merits of waging war, it is undeniably true that not only soldiers but also countless innocent civilians are killed. Some estimates place the number of civilian deaths in WW II at nearly 50,000,000.

Who is Hurt/Helped?

Only those who manufacture the weapons of war benefit from wars. Clearly, those who die are robbed of life. Those who loose loved ones suffer great anguish. Certainly all of society suffers when the talents of the dead are lost forever.

Origin of the Problem

Man's unwillingness to resolve conflicts in a peaceful manner.
