Due Week 10 and worth 235 points
This assignment uses the information you have gathered for your weekly World
View Chart Assignments.
Choose ONE (1) category (origin of all things, nature of god, view of human
nature, view of good and evil, etc.) from the chart to focus on for this
assignment. Consider how the selected category relates to all of the religions
covered and to your own social or work experiences.
Write a two to three (2-3) page paper in which you:
- Select ONE (1) category from the completed World View Chart. Provide a
rationale for choosing this category. What is compelling about this category?
Why is it important in the study of religion? - Describe the selected content and explain the significance of the selected
category across all of the religions studied. Show in what ways the category is
significant for each religion. - Give an example of how you have noticed this category in your life, town or
country. What impact does this category have in the everyday lives of people who
practice religion in your area? (You do not have to give examples of all the
religions in your area, just one you have noticed besides any you practice). For
example, in Cincinnati, Ohio we have Hindu, Greek Orthodox, Catholic festivals
in the summer. So if my category were “Festivals and Celebrations” I could use
those events as my example. - Use at least three (3) quality resources as references for the assignment
and document your sources using APA Style for in-text citations and references.
Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources. - Write clearly and coherently using correct grammar, punctuation, spelling,
and mechanics.
Your assignment must:
- Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch
margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or
school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional
