The paper will be evaluated using the Unit Assignments and Portfolio Paper rubric (Appendix A). Length and format guidelines are listed below. 1. What is ultimate reality? What is the source of everything? Asking these questions does not mean that there is a definitive answer. Some worldviews may hold the belief that there is no intelligible answer to these questions. 2, Is the nature of the world eternal or does it have a beginning? Is it good or evil or something else? Is it orderly or chaotic, intelligible or absurd? 3. What is a human being? Do human beings have only a body, a body and a soul, or something else? Are we good or evil or amoral? Are we able to acquire knowledge of the world and of God? If so, how is this attained? What is the source of the problem or the problems that we face? What is the solution to the problem or problems? 4. What happens to a person at death? 5. Why is it possible to know anything at all? 6. What is the nature of our morality? How do we know right from wrong? 7. What is the meaning of human history? Is there a Meta-narrative? Another way of asking this question is whether this world view believes that there is The Story that tells how we got here and why we are here. 8. What personal, life-orienting core commitments are consistent with this worldview?
