1. Define the term ‘Moral Maturity’.
I define the term ‘Moral Maturity’ as something that someone achieves, so that when they make choices in life, they understand the needs of everyone around them, and make decisions in such a way that they benefit everyone, and not just themselves.

Discuss the reasons why the 25 year old man mentioned would have a lack of ‘Moral Maturity’.
I believe he has a lack of moral maturity as he didn’t care for the officers safety. All he cared about was getting away. He also had no regard for public safety either.
3. Discuss the differences between ‘morality’ and ‘imorality’
Morality is something that someone has (a characteristic of sorts) which when they make decisions, is influenced by the needs of everyone around them. Immorality is the opposite in the sense they don’t care for others.
4. Watch the video on Governor Spitzer and discuss why his actions where ‘imoral’.
Spitzer’s actions are immoral as he was a complete hypocrite. He also affected many people who voted for him in confidence only to find he was a liar.
