Journal Entry 1- IST/ RE

1. List TWO problems that could occur from students selecting their own groups.

- We will choose our friends and in the work force, you need to work with people that you might not get along with.. But by choosing your friends, you might not get your work done as you would keep talking and bludging during class.

- Another problem that could occur is that we wont get to work with other people in our classes that we might not know as good and by working with them, we might get to know them a little bit more.

2. Which type of student do you think would be selected first?

Well a quite obvious question, but never the less, by far the Smart people and the people that do their work and do it well will be chosen first in my opinion.

3. Why do you think they were selected first?

I think that they will be selected first because they do their work and do it well and have the ability to communicate to other people that they might not know as well. And becasue they will help the others in their group if they have difficulty.

4. Which type of student do you was selected last?

I would most probally select the student that never does their work or even if they do it, it would be copy and paste, and the student that is quite and never express their opinions and the naughty kids as they might cost my group marks.

What perliminary reasearch have you done to commence your project?

- I have started this project well and done so with my reasearch. I have firstly started my reasearch with getting the important and precise definition of ‘ prototype’ which me and my partner can understand clearly. So me and my partner after reading and making our own definition of prototype, we came up with ” A prototype is an original form of something, which can include drawings about how the car will turn out to look like”. Also, then, I myself looked at some types of ford cars like the Falcon and Fiesta and looked at some parts of the car that we could ad to ours including the engine, muffler,  and wheels and also some features like spoilers and rims for the car.

Then I looked at drawing some designs with my partner using those features which make Ford cars unique. We tried drawings and using photoshop.

2. Define the term ‘Prototype’?

- After reading and examining the definitions of prototype, we came to a conclusion that a prototype is a drawings or something to that extent, which are used for drawing desings and examples on how the car might look like in the final product, when its finished.

3. Identify Ford Australia’s business brand?

- Well, ford is known all around the world but also in Australia. They are well known for their rivilry against Holden as can be seen with the V8 cars racing against each other. Ford use their logo to best sell their cars and that logo is known all around Australia.

What is an Informed Conscience?

In order to make a decision doctor’s access a wide range of medical knowledge and patient history in order to diagnose a problem and treatment. The same principle can be applied to making moral decisions. We must be well informed regarding all the facts of the situation, moral values, virtues and laws in order to make our final decision. Therefore, an informed catholic conscience is an educated conscience that knows in any given situation.

Read the following scenario and answer the questions:

Roger Smith, a quite competent swimmer, is out for a leisurely stroll. During the course of his walk he passes by a deserted pier from which a teenage boy who apparently cannot swim has fallen into the water. The boy is screaming for help. Smith recognizes that there is absolutely no danger to himself if he jumps in to save the boy; he could easily succeed if he tried. Nevertheless, he chooses to ignore the boy’s cries. The water is cold and he is afraid of catching a cold — he doesn’t want to get his good clothes wet either. “Why should I inconvenience myself for this kid,” Smith says to himself, and passes on.

1.) There are always TWO sides to a conscience. What would Roger’s conscience be telling him?

-Well there is no doubt 2 sides to his conscience. One which is the postive one will be telling him to jump in and same the little boy which would be the best thing to do and one is telling him, no, its not worth it, let the kid drown or freeze. It doesnt worry me. Which would be the negative and bad thing to do.

2.) Think of an example of Jesus’ teaching and explain how his teachings can help us to make an appropriate decision?

Well there is one special bible passage that I recall called the the good samaratin. This is a prime example when there conscience is tested to choose weather they help the man dying or just leave him there to die.
