Basic Components of Worldview Name: Brittany McGaughey Course: CWV 101-0510 Christian Worldview Date: November 10th, 2023 Instructor: Dr. Brian M. Koning Be sure you answer both Part 1 and Part 2 of this assignment before submitting. Part 1: Core Worldview Beliefs Based on the basic components of worldview presented in Chapter 2 and the topic overview , write a response to each of the six questions that form the basic components of your own core worldview beliefs. Respond to the questions about your own beliefs in your own words, and not necessarily what you think the Christian worldview believes. Keep this document intact and only add your answers in the box under each question. • What is your belief about the nature of ultimate reality? Why? Your answer in two to three sentences: Part of me believes there is something out the beyond earth and heaven. I believe there are multiple realities. I believe something has power over humans, but I believe earth is hell and we must earn entrance into the other reality above earth or heaven. • What is your belief about the nature of the universe? Why? Your answer in two to three sentences: I think everything happens for a reason. That everyone has a destiny, now who decides that destiny I want to believe it is God, but I am not 100% sure if it is. • What is your belief about human nature and the afterlife? Why? Your answer in two to three sentences: I think we are all born good, but we are all also broken. I believe in reincarnation, that we all live many lives as humans. In a way I believe we go into the “afterlife” once our journey as humans is over. • What are the three worldview (atheism, pantheism, theism) beliefs about the nature of knowledge? Which one best fits your belief? Why? Your answer in two to three sentences: Atheism is believing in no the existence of a god or gods, pantheism is believing that the universe
and god are one in the same, and theism is believing in at least one divine being. Even after reading the definitions of each worldview, I am unsure as to what mine is. I believe something is out there and that they guide us, but I am not sure if it is just one spiritual being. • What is your basis for determining moral right from moral wrong? Why? Your answer in two to three sentences: I believe we all have a natural niche for determining moral right and moral wrong. You have people who grow up with horrible parents, who are mean and abusive to them and other people, yet they turn out to be loving, caring, and giving people. They did not learn that from their parents. I believe it just came natural to them. • What is your belief about human purpose? Why? Your answer in two to three sentences: Depending on an individuals belief such as their purpose is to serve a spiritual being, I believe our purpose is also survival, repopulate, and supporting our family's position for the future, which can help with spreading our genes and be instrumental to the survival of humans. Part 2: Evaluation • Your answers to the questions in Part 1 form the basis of your worldview. Now that you have articulated your worldview, evaluate it according to the practical test described in Chapter 2 of the textbook and the topic overview. Which of the three worldviews most closely matches your core beliefs as you answered in Part 1? Does your worldview pass the practical test for livability? Why or why not? Provide a clear explanation of the workability and practical value in the most important areas of life and experience. Your answer in 200-300 words:
