Reflection

During special project, we were on secondlife, a virtual world game. It is a very interseting game where you can build things and interact with other people online. At first, secondlife was confusing and I did not know how to fly and copy things but as the lessons went on, I learnt more like how to make money and construct buildings. I made an office, it did not look like an office but its the first time i built something and it was pretty good.I learnt how to use adobe photoshop because of secondlife. We had to make a shirt so I had no choise but to use adobe photoshop. It was hard at first but then after watching the tuturials, I got the hang of it. For the project we were told to make a shirt. I made a shirt but I couldnt upload it because I didnt have access to secondlife at home and it did not upload my shirt.
At first I thought secondlife was a boring game but after I played it I was addicted to it. I would like to thank Mr Groom for giving us the opportunity to play secondlife and make us realise how games can help us.

1.) Give a brief description of who the Dalai Lama is? (Include resources to support)

According to the video above, Dalia Lama is the charismatics leader of the Buddhist religion. He is the 14th heavenly reincarnation. According to 14 million Buddhist, Dalia Lama is the living god of presence but Dalia Lama says he is a teacher and teaches about Buddhist.

2.) Evaluate how the actions of the Dalai Lama in regard to the riots in Tibet would be regarded as exemplary moral integrity.

The actions of the Dalia Lama in regard to the riots in Tibet would be regarded as exemplary moral integrity because Dalia Lama dealt with the problem smoothly and instead of starting a fight he said that if the fight continues, Dalia Lama would resign his job. This is why it is regarded as exemplary moral integrity.

Watch the following clip on Maximillian Kolbe:

Upload the answers to the following questions in your blog.

1.) Define the term ‘moral integrity’  Moral integrity is a decision that you make which you believe to be right and correct. 

 2.) Describe why Maximillian Kolbe is regarded as a Christian of exemplary moral integrity.  Maximilliam Kolbe is regarded as a Christian exemplary moral integrity because he died for a person who was meant to die because his room mate escaped from prison. 

3.) Outline Maximillians ethical actions/principles that he demonstrated in Auschwitz.  Maximilliams ethical action were to move the bodies of the torture and have compassion for the less fortunate people.

4.) Evaluate whether you think he made the right decision and provide research to support your answer. i.e. Catholic teachings.  I think that he made the right decision because the person who was meant to die did not commit the crime and he has a family. This is what Jesus would of done. This would come under sacrafice.
