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.
