Individual Task 3

1.) Define the term ‘moral integrity’

 

Moral integrity is a complex and subtle ethical notion.

2.) Describe why Maximillian Kolbe is regarded as a Christian of exemplary moral integrity.

Maxillian Kolbe is regarded as a Christian of exemplary moral integrity because he has used his Moral Integrity and he has a mind with everyone having equal rights and no one with higher or lower heirachy than anyone else in.

 

3.) Outline Maximillians ethical actions/principles that he demonstrated in Auschwitz.

 

Maximillian demonstrated a few ethical actions. His main one was sparing his life and taking death for someone else. He also hid 2,000 Jews from Nazi persecution, July 1941 a man from Maximillian’s barracks was not found, having no choice the deputy camp commander went to pick 10 men from the same barracks to be starved to death in Block 13, in order to deter further escape attempts. One of the selected men cried out, lamenting his family, and Kolbe volunteered to take his place. When in jail he was the one who initiated the men into songs and prayer. Provided shelter during World War II in Poland.

4.) Evaluate whether you think he made the right decision and provide research to support your answer. i.e. Catholic teachings

I believe that Maximillian Kolbe made his decision to sacrifice his own life because he thought it was the right thing to do otherwise he would be in a dilemma.  He was an aged priest whilst the man in captive was a young family man, the bible taught us about how Jesus Christ gave his life to save our sins for mankind and he must’ve thought it as a good deed.  Kolbe gave his life to save the man so that he could some day go back to his family, and perhaps so he could comfort his other nine friends that were also sentenced to die and being aged he would rather save someone with life.

 

Individual Assessment- News Paper Article

Global communication and School violence

There are many ways in which we can access information. We can access through school websites for starters and a very popular online encyclopedia called Wikipedia. The famously known encyclopedia for many online users regardless of being members or not who can edit this information and by far there have been proof of many articles which have been inaccurate but by percentage this is only very small. The new generation now learns more than what their grandparents or even their parents would learn in a life time or in their childhood.

It is amazing how books have been converted to being on the internet. Sometimes there can be information against the Catholic church and the catholic church would like that. There are the many negatives of the internet and the main ones are Pornography, cyber-bullying, Sexual misconduct, identity theft and school violence. Of those Pornography and Sexual misconduct would be a sin against the Catholic Churchand would be against the Commandment of Jesus, ‘Do not commit Adultery’. The positives on Global Communication is that the Catholic Church can spread the word to Jesus at a low cost, less work and be more effective.

Sometimes we don’t know what information is being accessed. We may not know the negative impacts of the information children are finding out. It is at great astonishment that many children would be in the process under the following negative categories which are pornography, cyber-bullying, Access to information, global communication, Sexual misconduct, identity theft,

School violence can be a major problem. It can happen at school and then as a result on the internet cyber-bullying will start. The signs of cyber-bullying on children are spending a lot of time on the computer, having trouble sleeping or having nightmares feeling depressed or crying without reason, mood swings feeling unwell, becoming anti-social and losing friends falling behind in homework.

The methods of preventing cyber-bullying are to discuss cyber bullying with children including any problems they have, find out the anti-bullying policies at your children’s school, know what children are talking about if they come to you for help, watch out for any behaviour changes especially related to online activity and know who to contact if your child is being cyber bullied and what the procedure is for removing distressing information off the Internet.

In the Catholic church’s point of view they won’t be happy with this issue as it affects the many minds of innocent children and even adults.

Many children in Australia have more freedom and responsibilities than ever before. The freedom could be used innapropriately and can result in the misuse of the internet. It is important that your child or children are well educated on the internet and therefore can develop the minds of young people and not destroy the minds of young people.

Today we had a casual teachers and our set work was the complete certain questions and requirements on the textbook about acids and bases. The purpose of this was to learn about Acids and bases to help us in our future practicals.

Journal Entry 6

Today we did an assessment on writing practical reports and we were given a scaffold with results and we had to determine what the practical would be and the purpose of it. I am sure I will get full marks. Below is a file which contains a scaffold for writing a science report.

Science Scaffold for writing Practicals

Journal Entry 5

Today we did the Decomposition and Combustion practicals and the purpose of the pracitcals was to learn about the process of Decomposition and Combustion. I wasn’t available to be there for the first practical but avialable to view the second practical. this was due to the fact of me having to do the class test on the “Periodic Table” and it was tricky and hard. I don’t know how I will fair in the test but I am sure I have passed the test by much. The practicals were interesting but expected because I had read the textbook and had a great insight in the practical.

Journal Entry 4

I wasn’t here for science as I had to present my IST/CST presentation to the Brothers but I found out what we did in the lesson. We did the class test on the first chapter about the elements and the Periodic Table. The purpose of the test was to make our permanent grade instead of the raw grade and this would determine whether we would drop in a grade or advance in a grade.

1. How is the research going?

The research is going in an excellent status as we have put together some interesting research.

2. What do you know about imovie? What other multimedia possibilities have you considered for your presentation?

imovie is an editing software for video clips and I have considered to also use Movie Maker and I have a strong feeling we will use it.

1. How is the research going?

The research is going excellent with good time management skills.

2. What do you know about imovie? What other multimedia possibilities have you considered for your presentation?

imovie is an editing movie program which can enhance and remake many video clips. We are going to use Movie Maker as it is more compatible to use at home.

Journal Entry 3

Today we did two practicals which were Corrosion and Precipitation. We had to write the experiements on paper which I learnt were practical reports. The purpose of the experiment was to learn the process of Corrosion and Precipitation and learn how to write practical reports.
