conflicts --- within different communities and nations around the world, perhaps more helpfully
than standard economic-indicators help us to make such comparisons:

1. What fraction of children born in the community/nation --- survive for one, two, three, four,
five, and six years?

2. What fractions of the members of the community/nation are in prison on an average day?

3. How do the members of the community/nation view the execution of criminals as a frequent 
punishment?

4. What is the over-all total annual cost per citizen for all health-care services for civilians?  
For people who have been trained to participate within, and been involved in --- alienative-
military-services?

5. What other related questions should be helpfully asked and responded to --- to make such 
comparisons?
