A world view is a fundamental or basic
orientation of thinking – like a mindset – which guides a culture and / or a
person’s life. Like a point of view, it can be built of concepts, ideas,
values, emotions, and ethics. Weltanschauung is the German word for
this idea. Your goal for this course is to understand the world views of these
various religions. In order to prepare you for your final assignment, you will
outline the world views of various religions in the chart below, adding to it
each week.
For this assignment, students will complete
the weekly area of the chart, filling in the aspects of each religion as it is
presented in the readings and resources. This chart, when complete, will be the
starting point for the written assignment, due in Week 10.
For each weekly submission:
- Review the weekly lectures
and supplemental materials provided, then complete the chart by
elaborating on each section related to the weekly content.
- Identify key details and
examples from the weekly resources to serve as a basis for the content
being recorded in your chart.
- Write clearly and
coherently using correct grammar, punctuation, spelling, and mechanics.
