What was the policy of appeasement and did it work?
There are many reasons which do justify appeasement and also many reasons that don't justify appeasement. Firstly, appeasement was justified because many military experts in Britain calculated that there would be over 1 million deaths in the first 60 days of war if war broke out in September 1938. This meant that many people wanted to have a negotiated peace because Britain was not ready for war. Furthermore, appeasement was justified because Britain wanted to play for time so she could rearm and massively increase the number of men in the army (through conscription) and the number of RAF planes. This also links to the calculations made by the military experts as Britain knew that if they did not rearm then many civilians would die in air raids. Instead, politicians knew that buying time would decrease that risk. However, appeasement was not justified because only 7% of the British population believed that Hitler would not demand to take over any other European countries. This meant that 93% of the population thought Hitler would take land that was not rightfully German which would inevitably result in war. Furthermore, appeasement was not justified because giving in to Hitler's demands at the Munich Conference meant that Hitler would have more confidence and perhaps take a gamble to demand more land in the future. This also links to the fact that Germany would become much stronger through appeasement which would make it much harder to defeat a stronger Germany in the future. In my overall opinion, I don't think appeasement was justified because it gave Hitler the confidence to demand more land. This was evident when Hitler demanded the Polish Corridor and Danzig in August 1939, which eventually resulted in war. The public opinion in Britain also was a reason to abandon appeasement because many thought Hitler would demand further, which did happen, and this links to the point I said about Hitler growing more confident and stronger. However, the possible death toll in the first 60 days of a war was incredibly high if Britain did not play for time and rearm.

What is a moral claim?
A moral claim simply means that one calls an action moral or right and grants it a special status. The basis of a moral claim is frequently religious but can also reflect social mores, personal approval, or utilitarian objectives.
My brother who recently passed stated i was on his life insurance How can you find out if i am a beneficiary on a life insurance policy with the military in the state of Texas?
If you were on his life insurance policy and he was military, they will be contacting you. No worries. You would simply contact the SGLI claims department and file a claim, or at the least find out who is in fact a beneficiary. Try this link for a link to VA Affairs and a phone number. They will point you in the right direction. http://www.military.com/Finance/content/0,15356,165322,00.html
