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

The Dalai Lama said he would retire if the violence continued. This was because he and the Buddhist religion believe in nonviolence. This can be regarded as exemplary moral integrity because it shows that he is more concerned with the principles rather than his own self interest.

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

Roger’s conscience will be telling him that he msut jump in the water to save that kid whatever its temperature or however good his clothes. At the back of his mind he knows that if something happens to that kid, including death, he will be responsible. All these feelings will be coming to him as he knows that saving the kid is a very easy job for him because he is a really good swimmer. He also knows that his clothes are less important than the kid’s life and that he will get new clothes if these clothes get ruined.

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

Jesus’ teachings will help us make an appropriate decision as his teachings tell you to think for others as you would think for yourself. If you would think so, you would obviously save the boy.
