1.) Watch the following clip:

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.

Discuss what you would do in this situation.

In this situation i would definitely be terrified but then my conscience would click to me, making me think of all the possibilities i could think off. So i would firstly call the police or either the guard in the guards compartment and ask them to assist the man. During that time it takes for the guard to come i will ask bystanders to come and help me approach the youths and to help out the ethnic old man. After the event of this happening i will remember specifically what has happened so i could be an eye witness for the police to give them a very accurate story of what has happened.

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”.

Discuss what you would do in this situation.

In this situation i would try to tell the girl about the wrong choice she is about to consider and try to influence her to tell her friends to just play a sport in the house to get their minds off getting in trouble. But if she disagrees to follow my instructions i will leave the group and let them be for that i don’t want to like someone who is in love with wrong doings.

It is the voice everyday that tells you to wake up and got to school and not wag, it is the voice that tells you to eat when you are really hungry it is the voice that makes all your daily decisions and it is the voice that brings you home every day to where yo belong.

The conscience works in making moral decisions by looking at what is happening or creating a solution for the person to do. The relationship between religion and your conscience is very strong.

The 25 year old man mentioned in the article would be regarded as having a lack of moral maturity, this is expressed through the article because it was said that the the man had resisted arrest by the police meaning that he had not been mature enough to receive the punishment for his wrong doings. It is also written that the man had damaged a car,pelted and spat on a police man showing that he was extremely not moral because he did not realise the difference between right and wrong.

It was not clear why Baughman was at the hospital. He was a Boulder resident who had once been a patient there.

The standoff started around 9am local time when the man, in a vestibule leading to the main lobby and the emergency room, said he had a detonator. The bomb squad and special police teams responded.

Five emergency patients were moved to another part of the emergency room, and the 200-bed hospital was locked down.

Interactive
The image offers us to gaze at the boat and for us to see them get of and enter into new land. It also offers us to watch the rabbits conquer new land from a close distance. We are over ruled through this image, to be informing them to stop this action of taking away the land they want to have. The image of the boat is angled in a low position and from a far; this action was taken to show the viewer that the rabbits came from far away to find and conquer new land. The image of the rabbits is taken very close and from a frontal angle, this was implied to show that with the straight posture of each rabbit it was seen as they had strong men and were demanding and focused to do rite. The modality of the rabbits is high, the colours are bright and strong this is done to make objects or characters in the picture more attractive to show people the importance of the picture. Illumination is contained in this image, the background of this image show that it is a gloomy day for others but it also shows that it is a glorious day for others. This is shown as the gloomy dark sky for the owners of the land for it will be taken away by the right rabbits making a mixture of a bright blue background for those who have found new land.
