Question
CWV101 Christian Worldview
Week 7 Assignment
Benchmark – Ethical Dilemmas
In this assignment, you will analyze the implications of an
ethical issue according to the Christian worldview. You will be
challenged to think about Christian worldview core beliefs and
apply what you have learned over this course. This will be a
thorough analysis of a case study you will choose from the options
provided.
Write a 1,000-1,500-word essay in which you analyze ethical
thinking and use values-based decision-making to address a case
study from the perspective of the Christian worldview. Choose one
case study from the five options listed in the attached “Ethical
Dilemmas” document.
After an appropriate introductory paragraph with a thesis
statement in which you name the scenario you are choosing, address
each of the following six sections with at least one paragraph
each. Write at least one paragraph for each component using the
underlined titles for a subheading.
Ethical Dilemma: Briefly describe the ethical dilemma in your
own words, including (a) what in the scenario makes it difficult to
make an ethical decision and (b) at least two options for resolving
the scenario, providing a brief overview of what sort of ethical
decisions each option might make.
Core Beliefs: What beliefs about God and humanity from the
Christian worldview are relevant to the scenario? How might these
core worldview commitments of Christians influence one’s
decision-making with regard to this scenario?
Resolution: Describe the Christian worldview’s proposal for
resolving the ethical dilemma. How should the person in the
scenario act according to the Christian worldview? What is the best
course of action for a Christian? (Note: The resolution should be
consistent with Christian worldview commitments.)
Evaluation: What might be the unintended consequences and
perceived benefits of the resolution proposed by the Christian
worldview?
Comparison: How does the Christian worldview resolution
compare to how another worldview might resolve the dilemma? Choose
a specific contrasting worldview, such as atheism, pantheism, or
scientism.
Conclusion: Synthesize the main points, pulling the ideas of
the paper together.
