creating peace or the consequences of lighting the fire of warfare within a nation. These obstacles of pushing to bargain for what one side desires is just human nature, anywhere from nationwide conflicts to mere bickering between two people at a swap meet. While there are a million prospective directions of where a settlement can go, one thing is certain that in politics and warfare is that there will either be peace or there will be war due to the nature of politics.

Cube is a science fiction film that depicts the imprisonment of seven people, all of whom are complete strangers, in a labyrinth filled with different traps that are designed to kill the members of the newly formed group. In order to survive, the strangers must move room to room, all while avoiding traps, to try and find the exit of the labyrinth they have been imprisoned in.

In the glare of an ever-present and far-reaching news cycle, decisions to engage in war are of paramount concern to a state. Given this greater accountability, there is perhaps an even stronger emphasis for states to have sound moral reasoning in its actions leading to and during war.
