With reference to the image below and answer the following questions:
1.) Define the term ‘digital media’.
The term digital media is defined any type of information in digital format including computer-generated text, graphics and animations, as well as photographs, animation according to www.conferzone.com/resource/glossarycd.html. In my opinion, digital media is any thing to do with digital codes such as electronics, computers and the Internet.
2.) How has digital media evolved over the last 5-10 years?
The digital media has evolved over the last 5 – 10 years due to the demand of the general public. More and more people would want to read a news paper that is free and also convenient to the person. Also digital media such as photos are more update as people can just upload the pictures on the Internet in a matter of minutes compared to the hard-copy magazines and newspapers who have to go around the editor team before being shown to the public.
3.) Discuss the reasons why digital newspapers are extremely popular?
Digital newspapers are more popular than hard-copy newspapers as digital news papers are more convenient to the person who is reading it. For example the reader may have bad eye sight; so they could not read the small print on the hard-copy news paper but, the digital copy of the newspaper’s font can be adjusted with ease. Also the digital copy is free and there is no fuss in storing the newspaper away.

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 best get help first from another person, rail guards or police. By this i could be safe and also help the elderly man. Also I would write down everything that is happening so when I get asked to be witnessed I can give a detailed story.
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.
I would to talk to the girl why see likes me and I would like her back if she goes the way I want. I would join in making a riot because police will retaliate with heavy resistance and is against the law. I don’t care what any of my friends say, at least it is the right thing to do.

1.) Watch the following clip:
Describe what is a person’s ‘conscience’.
A persons conscience is the voice inside of that person. It tells them what to do every day of every minute of every second of their lives. Your conscience governs what you eat, what you watch and most importantly what you decide. The conscience is like your mouth that no-one else can hear. The conscience has always two sides: The side in which to do the right thing and the the side in which to do the wrong thing(Devil Donald and Angel Donald).2.) Watch the following clip:
Describe how a persons conscience works in making moral decisions. Explain the relationship between religion and conscience.
The conscience works in making moral decisions by assessing the situation and finding a solution that is possible for the person to do. They will make a decision based o the conscience’s moral maturity.If the conscience is has a basic moral maturity it most likely to select a solution that the person will not receive and punishment. A very developed conscience would select a solution that would concern everyone and its environment. The relationship between religion and the conscience is that the solution taken by the conscience is based on the persons belief and their religion. religion can force the consciouses to do certain things. religion has a big influence on the conscience and what the solution would be.

1.) Define the term “Moral Maturity”
Moral maturity is when a person’s conscience is very mature knowing what is right and what is wrong. The person would had thought about all the probabilities that could happen in a situation. For example in Kohlberg’s theory there was 6 different stages of moral maturity. If a person with an immature conscience he would be placed in the first level of moral maturity. If a person who has a very mature mind, he would placed in level 6 of moral maturity.
2.) Read the following article:
http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/knife-arrest-cop-pelted/2008/03/24/1206206967590.html
Discuss the reasons why the 25 year old man mentioned in the article would be regarded as having a lack of ‘moral maturity’.
The 25 year old man mentioned in the article lacked of moral maturity because he made a very bad decision by going head to head with law; damaging a car, pelted things on to officers and spitting on one police officer. Those actions showed no respect and meant that he was doing for it without reason. His conscience is very immature on deciding to spit on police and damaging a car.
3.) Identify the differences between ‘morality’ and ‘immorality’.
Morality is the quality of being in accord with standards of right or good conduct and immorality is basically the opposite of morality.
4.) Watch the following clip and describe the reasons why Governor Spitzer’s actions would be regarded as ‘immoral’.
The actions of Governor Spitzer is very immoral. He had loving wife and three daughters. He made the decision to have sex with a prostitute knowing that he had a loving family and that he was the governor of New York. He had a clean slate until he was discovered to have a sexual affair with a prostitute. His actions are immoral throwing his family, his wife, his duty and his clean and honourable life away just to have sex with a prostitute.

4.) Discuss how you would feel if the Australian government banned the Internet. What privileges would you lose? (2 Paragraphs)
If the Australian Government had banned the Internet I would be applaud and devastated. Internet is the most interesting things that the computer offers. Internet for me helps me do my assessments and homework with little effort for looking for information compared to books. Also Internet gives me the opportunity to socialise with friends when I am absent from school, at home or overseas.
The privileges that i would loose is mainly socialising and education. For example in education I can learn from the Internet whenever i want and the info is updated. Also the information on the Internet cannot be received at school or in books. Socialism will be lost between my friends and family. My friends and I would have to meet to talk about our business.
