Globe Theatre

The Globe Theatre was a theatre in London which played William Shakespeare plays. The theatre played an important role in Shakespeare’s plays, as in those times they didn’t have microphones, so they needed to project there voice so the audience can hear them, thats why the theatre was built in a round shape. It was built in 1599. By the company which help produce Shakespeare plays, the Lord Chamberlain’s Men. The Globe Theatre was destroyed by fire on June 29, 1613. A second Globe Theatre was rebuilt on the same site by June 1614, the theatre then closed in 1642. The new and modern reconstruction of the Globe, is now named “Shakespeare’s Globe“, and opened in 1997.

The Lord Chamberlains Men

The Lord Chamberlain’s Men was the playing company that William Shakespeare worked for as actor and playwright for most of his career. The Lord Chamberlain’s Men had become one of the two leading companies of the city by 1603. It is named the Lord Chamberlains Men due to the fact that at the time of Shakespeare, no women were allowed in the plays, so that it is why they only use men at the end. The main reason in which The Lord Chamberlain’s company was a big hit is because Shakespeare had been a great and talented play writer.

Each Play company such as The Lords Chamberlains Men would have their own Theatre to perform such as the Globe Theatre; this in way people will recognize each company and what they perform. This is why The Lord Chamberlains Men were famous.

 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 concience is telling not to help the boy who needs help because he firstly doesn’t want to to catch a cold aslo he doesn’t want to get his clothes. His mind is also telling him that he can swim and so that is advantage for if he is willing to help the boy

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

Jesus teachings can help us make descision because every story that Jesus has taught He helps us make descision. example The man stuck in the lions den he was saved by god and the lions didn’t hurt so if the drowning boy needed help then god will try and influence Roger Smith to help him.
