During this term, for our Special Project, we stated in a virtual world known as Secondlife. It was tricky at the start, trying to learn how to move about and how to make things ect. It was a bit confusing also to build things. It took a while but then eventually, I started getting the hang of it and it got much easier for me. So then I started building and putting clothes on my avatar. But then my username did not work, so then I had to get another username and password from Mr. Groom. So I had to start over again and put clothes on my avatar. Then we were told that we had to make a shirt using a template that I downloaded. I used Abode Photoshop at school and at home to get my shirt perfect

Watch the following clip on the Dalai Lama:

 

Read the following articles:

Article 1
Article 2
Answer the following questions on your blog:1.) Give a brief description of who the Dalai Lama is? (Include resources to support)

- By watching the Youtube Video above about the Dalai Lama, He is reincarnated Buddhist. He is the head of the Buddhist and Tibetan People. He is thought to be the 14th reincarnation of what is called the heavenly dayanty of compassion and wisdom. About 14 million buddhists think that the Dalai Lama is a living God, but he does not think that he is a God, but he sees himself more as a teacher to the Buddhist people and plimgrams. He sees that if you do good things in your previous life you will have a good next life but if you were not doing good things in your previous life, you will not have a good next life.

2.) Evaluate how the actions of the Dalai Lama in regard to the riots in Tibet would be regarded as exemplary moral integrity- Because he has said that if these riots continue in countries like his own and his own people being involved in these such riots, he is willing or prepared to resign from his job of being the Dalai Lama therefore showing an ideal moral integrity.

Watch the following clip on Maximillian Kolbe:

Q1) Define the term ‘moral integrity’?

- Moral Integrity is an action or a set of rules which is taken by in a situation when you decide whether you think it is the right or wrong decision.

Q2) Describe why Maximillian Koble is regarded as Christian of exemplary moral integrity?

- Maximillian Koble is regarded as Christian Exemplary of moral integrity because like Jesus he died for a person as he knew that that person has still a long and healthy life to live and he showed moral integrity by dying or risking his life to help or protec t another human being.

Q3) Outline Maximillians ethical actions/ principals that he demonstrated in Auschwitz?

In Auschwitz Maximillian demonstrated  ethical actions and principals by dying or risking his life just like Jesus dying on the cross. He showed courage and bravery in Auschwitz

Q4) Evaluate whether you think he made the right decision and provide research to support your answer. i.e Catholic Teachings.

I think that in the end that Maximillian Koble made the right decisions by sacrafising his life for another man who he knew still had a life to live. His actions reflects what is said in the bible. In Matthew 27: 32-46 where Jesus dies on the cross for the sake of forgiving our sins, Maximillian Koble died or gave up in life like Jesus but unlike Jesus giving up his life for many people, Maximillian Koble gave up his life for only one person but in dying did a good deed showing moral integrity.
