ABSTRACT

Just as policy makers, caregivers, and other adults have systematically under estimated the suffering experienced by children in situations of illness, death, or war, so also they have neglected children’s moral understanding of, and response to, social and political events (Miljevic- Ridjicki & Lugomer-Armano, 1994). In the context of political violence, children experience not only disruption of their physical, relational, and social worlds but also a shattering of their moral universe.
