UNIV 104 CIVIC AND GLOBAL ENGAGEMENT/DIVERSITY/ BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW REFLECTION ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS OVERVIEW Civic and global engagement involves the ability to engage local, national, and global structures as an informed follower of Christ. This requires one to have an understanding of a Biblical Worldview, as well as be able to decipher that view from secular worldviews in the areas of cultural, political, economic, and industrial fields. To impact any of these areas one must effectively engage with people of diverse backgrounds. To this avail, students will script a reflection essay which demonstrates this understanding. INSTRUCTIONS First, students should review “What is a Biblical worldview” in eBook Reading- Chapter: Introduction: Getting Involved. Students can access the full textbook inside MindTap (follow any chapter link to enter MindTap) or can use the direct link to Introduction: Getting Started in Module 1: Week 1’s Learn section, and the view the Module presentations on worldview and diversity. Note: Students will see quite a few connections between Biblical worldview and diversityi.e., God created the entire earth and everything living. He made all of us in His image. We are all descendants of Adam and Eve but have unique differences. We are all sinners, regardless of demographics. God reveals Himself through the Word and has sent us diverse prophets. We are to love one another without exclusions. We are charged to go out to all nations. And so on. Next, students should script a 350-475 word reflection essay using the below provided outline. The reflection should follow the traditional, academic essay format (introduction, three body paragraphs, conclusion).
