1.) Describe the term ‘prototype’ and give reasons why it could be used.

According to the websitehttp://dictionary.reference.com/browse/prototype

the word prototype is defined as the original or model on which something is based or formed.

The reasons why prototypes are used are so they can experiment with it and add or change any parts that the manufacturers feel isnt working. They can use prototypes to give out and they compare and contrast on the different ideas that the car plane or any new object should have.

When the designers make prototypes, they can be put into mass production and have their prototype as a full scale product. Another reason why prototypes are used is to show the functions and capabilities of their subject. Once this is all done they can finally put their product into the sales market.

2.) Discuss another industry other than the car industry that would use prototypes.

Another industry that uses prototypes is the aviation industry. They use prototypes to see the functions of the new air planes that go to war and also the safety for the people who are in it. Like the aeroplanes that carry hundreds of passengers across country to country need to be safe and function well to ensure the safety of the people inside it.

Some special features of a car that is needed would be

 1.Remote Keyless Entry- when you only have to press a button to unlock the doors or open up the doors.

2.OnStar System-With OnStar, help from a real-live person is always just a button-push away.

3. Anti-lock brakes (ABS)-Simple physics dictates that a turning wheel has more traction than one that is skidding.

4. Electronic stability/skid-control system-ESC systems use the anti-lock brake sensors (which show individual wheel speed), accelerometers, and steering wheel/pedal position sensors to figure out what the car is doing and what the driver wants it to do.

5.Telescoping steering wheel/adjustable pedals-Most new cars have height-adjustable (tilt) steering columns; some cars have steering wheels that telescope (move in and out) and/or electrically adjustable pedals.

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?

One side of Roger’s conscience would be saying to him to go and help the boy, and you cant let him drown because you will live with guilt, and the other side will be saying to him to leave the  boy there to drown and you wont have guilt you will have fun.

2.) Think of an example of Jesus’ teaching and explain how his teachings can help us to make an appropriate decision?

Blessed are the gentle;they shall have the earth as their inheritance”

We can use this teaching in making the appropriate decision by being gentle in our actions. Being gentle in our actions can help us because when i want to fight someone or someone does something wrong to me then instead of busting his eye i can just be gentle about it.
