1.) Describe the term ‘prototype’ and give reasons why it could be used.
The term prototype is described in http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/prototype is a experimental model of a certain object in which is being evaluated.
Prototypes are used mainly in the car manufacturing industry. The car manufacturers use prototypes to get info and evaulation form it so that they can further enhance the car and know what people want for the next car.
2.) Discuss another industry other than the car industry that would use prototypes.
Another industry that uses protoypes is the GIzmos indusrty. Inventors make prototypes so that they can trail if the gizmo is worth it for mass production. Inventors get people to trail their product for a week or so and have the people to evaluate on what is good, what is bad and what they would want to be included in that gizmo.
Provide at least ONE image of a prototype within that industry.

What is an Informed Conscience?
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?
Rogers conscience is telling him to not help the guy as it would inconvienience him, knowing that he could easily help the guy with ease dur to his talent in swiming. He i considered to be wasting his talent and neglecting the guy in trouble. His conscience has not devloped to that extent at that point so he did not consider that he might be prosecuted by the authorities for leaving a person to die.
2.) Think of an example of Jesus’ teaching and explain how his teachings can help us to make an appropriate decision?
One exapmple of Jesus’ teachings is the story about a land owner giving his servants talents hile he was gone. The servants made a profit form their given talents except one. He made the wrong decision by lsaving the talent and not making a profit form it while his master was gone. We can al learn from this teaching by analysing on what the factors are and to seek help when needed.
