1.) Define the term ‘moral integrity’

Moral integrity means too me, the self choices that you make in the way of your morals. Taking it upon yourself, to have integrity, to do right and to follow your self morals.

2.) Describe why Maximillian Kolbe is regarded as a Christian of exemplary moral integrity.

Maximillians is without a doubt in my soul, an exemplary of Christian Integrity. If i could be as a halfa good christian as him, id die a happy man. To me, he has done what jesus would have done in that exact situation, and he is an example to all christians.

3.) Outline Maximillians ethical actions/principles that he demonstrated in Auschwitz.

His actions in Aushwitz are impecable, he’s principals are evident, and those are principals of nothing but good. He has demonstrated an excellent value of morales and this should be repeated, hopefully in not such as great a stature, but in every day life. If we can adapt to the morales of this man, the world would be a better place.

4.) Evaluate whether you think he made the right decision and provide research to support your answer. i.e. Catholic teachings.

Yes i believe without a dubt, that what he did was the way Jesus would have, and is the most christian way to do possible. I doubt i would have the courage to do this. Being a father he has followed Jesus all his life, and even during the lowest point, right at the end of his life, his spirit never died. Now he is in a better place, and deservedly so.
