World View Chart Assignments

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.
