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 Dalai Lama in regards to the riots in Tibet would be regarded as exemplary moral integrity because he trys to protest against the leaders about the independence of Tibet without anyone getting hurt. Even so, riots have gotten out of hand and atl east 99 people have been killed in China. The Dalai Lama said that events were out of his control in Tibet he will resign if violence in his homeland worsens.
I think moral intergrity is one person’s ability to conduct decisions based on one’s moral beliefs. A judgment that regardless of the final outcome will be based entirely on what they think is right or wrong.
Maximillian Kolbe is regarded as a Christian of great moral integrity. This was because of the torture he suffered during his time in Auschwitz. During this time he was ordered to do lots of manual labor such as moving heavy logs and dead bodies. Throughout this time, Maximillian Kolbe comforted his peers and inmates, preaching to them about God.
As a priest, Maximillian Kolbe continued as a priest and heard the confessions of the prisoners. He also held Masses under the watchful eye of the German guards. This was regarded as highly dangerous because anyone who was found doing so would be tortured and taken to prison. During the time he spent in Auschwitz someone had escaped. This meant that ten men were chosen to die, one of which had a family and children, Kolbe begged and pleaded the soldiers so that he could swap places with this man. After Maximilian’s convincing, he swapped places with the man. The chosen men had to starve to death and Kobe was one of the final four to die. In the end Maximillian Kolbe was injected so that he would die faster.
I think Maximillian Kolbe had strong moral beliefs. The bible contains many passages where Jesus sacrificed himself for us so that we could be forgiven. In the same way, Maximilian Kobe sacrificed himself in place of the man so that he could see his family again, something that would of required lots of courage and mental strength to do.
Scenario 1: You are on a train coming home from a day at the beach. The train stops at a station and a group a youths get on the train and start bashing an elderly ethnic man. You notice people getting off the train.
In this situation i would try to help the man if i could. Also, i would call the police and tell them what is happening. The police could tell me some important information and tell me what to do next.
Scenario 2: You get a message from a girl that you are interested asking you to come over her house. When you get there a number of her friends are present and they say they are bored. One of them promotes the idea of going for a walk and causing a riot. At first you tell them “No way”. However, the girl you like states that “she will like you more if you go”.
At first i would try to change the subject to something distracting. This could probably let them forget about the riot. Also, i would propose something else we could do instead. This might disttract or delay them.

If the Australian government banned the internet i would lose a lot of information at hand. I would find it had to complete assessments and work allocated by teachers.
