This assignment will introduce you to the concept of worldview. It will also provide you with a fundamental understanding of Christian spirituality that looks to the union of body, mind, soul, and spirit, along with how those beliefs inform a unique ethical awareness and decision-making in professional practice. In addition, you will gain knowledge about your own personal beliefs, according to your own worldview.

After reading topic Resources, you will complete the "Worldview Analysis and Personal Inventory" document, which includes prompts related to the following:

• Christian perspective of the nature of spirituality and ethics
• Scientism and two of the main arguments against it
• Ultimate reality
• Nature (origin) of the universe
• What it means to be a human being and purpose in your existence
• What knowledge is and sources of knowledge
• Ethics and where the knowledge of right and wrong comes from
• Purpose of human life and existence
