1.) Give a brief description of who the Dalai Lama is? (Include resources to support)
The Dalai Lama is knwon to be the 14th (XIVth) dalai lama. He is also greatly known as Tenzin Gyatsu and he is acknowleged as the spiritual and tempoarl leader of the Tibetan people. He had been born into a peasant familyand had been recognised at the age of 2 years old. The Dalai Lamas are the manifestations of the Bodhisattva of Compassion, who chose to reincarnate to serve the people, They live up to many commitments in their roles as the Dalai lama. Dalai Lama means Ocean of Wisdom. Tibetans normally refer to His Holiness as Yeshin Norbu, the Wish-fulfilling Gem, or simply, Kundun, meaning The Presence.
2.) Evaluate how the actions of the Dalai Lama in regard to the riots in Tibet would be regarded as exemplary moral integrity.
The actions of the the Dalai lama in regard to the riots would be regarded as exemplary moral integrity due to the fact of that he is willing to resign as tibetan leader if the situation became out of control in Tibet. He makes this large sacrifice for that he knows he can give the safety to all Tibetans, for that it is his role to keep Tibetans away from harm in the violence of the riots.
The meaning of the term moral integrity to me is really about a person’s way of thining. Manny events or happening in ones daily life refer to making choices or actions. A person will think and act accordingly to what they believe is right or wrong
~ An Exapamle by Mr.Car of Moral Integrity ~
Well a student of Mr. Car has walked right passed him and he notice that a 5 dollar note could drop out of his pocket at any momment. Another student walks by the student with the money and walks right pass him with nothing to say to avoid the intention of him getting into trouble. Another student walks by the student with the money and watches from a distant to see if the note will ever drop. Before any of the students could react to this money he tells the owner that his money is going to drop any time, making the student realise to put his money away into his wallet. This example given by Mr.Car is an example of moral integrity because he had thought of the choices he could make and he chose the choice of acting accordingly to believe what is right by telling the student to keep his money in a safe place.

A persons conscience is that inner voice you can hear inside your head that tells you what to do in your life, poractically what your parents do every time you are with them but in this case it with you for life.
