CWV 101 Week 7 Assignment Benchmark – Ethical Dilemmas
Details:
In this assignment, you will analyze the implications of an ethical issue according to your worldview.
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 as compared to your own worldview
assumptions. Choose one case study from the five options listed on the “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. Use the underlined titles for
each of your headings.
1. 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.
2. 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?
3. 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.)
4. Evaluation: What might be the unintended consequences and perceived benefits of the resolution proposed
by the Christian worldview?
5. Comparison: How does the Christian worldview’s resolution compare to another option?
