World View Chart Assignments

I need two charts one chart is for Hinduism and the other one is Buddhism. The chart is attached.

A world view is a fundamental or basic orientation of thinking - like a mindset - which guides a culture and / or a person's life. Like a point of view, it can be built of concepts, ideas, values, emotions, and ethics. Weltanschauung is the German word for this idea. Your goal for this course is to understand the world views of these various religions. In order to prepare you for your final assignment, you will outline the world views of various religions in the chart below, adding to it each week.

For this assignment, students will complete the weekly area of the chart, filling in the aspects of each religion as it is presented in the readings and resources. This chart, when complete, will be the starting point for the written assignment.

For each submission:

Review the weekly lectures and supplemental materials provided, then complete the chart by elaborating on each section related to the weekly content.

Identify key details and examples from the weekly resources to serve as a basis for the content being recorded in your chart.

Write clearly and coherently using correct grammar, punctuation, spelling, and mechanics

WORLD VIEW CHART (alternate version)

This chart contains all the research you need to write the final paper for this course. If you do the research and reading on the religion(s) we study each week, and if you give yourself a good guide to the religions using this chart, you will have a good foundation for that final paper. The more information you provide for yourself with this chart, the easier it will be to write your final paper. Do not forget to provide adequate material for any in-text citations and be sure to include a reference page as well.

Complete and submit the following worksheet. Provide citations for any source(s) you used to explain or provide examples for in your research.List in APA Style full references for any in-text citations and source(s) made in the above chart.
