In order to make a decision doctor’s access a wide range of medical knowledge and patient history in order to diagnose a problem and treatment. The same principle can be applied to making moral decisions. We must be well informed regarding all the facts of the situation, moral values, virtues and laws in order to make our final decision. Therefore, an informed catholic conscience is an educated conscience that knows in any given situation.
Read the following scenario and answer the questions:
Roger Smith, a quite competent swimmer, is out for a leisurely stroll. During the course of his walk he passes by a deserted pier from which a teenage boy who apparently cannot swim has fallen into the water. The boy is screaming for help. Smith recognizes that there is absolutely no danger to himself if he jumps in to save the boy; he could easily succeed if he tried. Nevertheless, he chooses to ignore the boy’s cries. The water is cold and he is afraid of catching a cold — he doesn’t want to get his good clothes wet either. “Why should I inconvenience myself for this kid,” Smith says to himself, and passes on.
1.) There are always TWO sides to a conscience. What would Roger’s conscience be telling him?
Save the child no matter what. dont worry about the consequenses.

Upload the answers to the following questions in your blog.1.) Define the term ‘moral integrity’The virtues relevant for integrity always accompany other, substantive virtues, and their associated values, principles and rules.
By reading many articles and other peoples opinions i have come to the conclusion that ‘moral integrity’ is more about us being children/adolescences its being guided in the right direction if needed. We have to start to think for ourselves
2.) Describe why Maximillian Kolbe is regarded as a Christian of exemplary moral integrity.
Maximillian Kolbe is regarded as a Christian of exemplary moral integrity because he chose to give up his life for another man like jesus died for us.
3.) Outline Maximillians ethical actions/principles that he demonstrated in Auschwitz.
it was to give up his life for someone else.
4.) Evaluate whether you think he made the right decision and provide research to support your answer. i.e. Catholic teachings.
i believe he did the right thing aas did jesus say in the commandements. he sacraficed his life for us as did Maxamillian.
this requires you to be loyal to god. you have to try to follow the commandements and go to church every weekend.
2. love self and neighbor
be nice and kind to your neighbor. be friendly. go out to coffee or something that keeps you social with them. do not steal from them and try to be loyal.
