World View Chart Assignments
Due Weeks 2 through 10 and worth 35 points each week, with a total of 315 points.

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:

  1. Review
    the weekly lectures and supplemental materials provided, then complete
    the chart by elaborating on each section related to the weekly content.
  2. Identify key details and examples from the weekly resources to serve as a basis for the content being recorded in your chart.
