WORLDVIEW ANALYSIS ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
The purpose of this assignment is to analyze and apply a specific worldview to the formation of a specific policy. After completing the Quiz: Defining Worldviews Part 1 and Quiz: Defining Worldviews Part 2, research one of the worldview policy outcomes (hate speech, abortion, etc.). Identify whether this piece of legislation either is currently being debated in Congress or has already been implemented and passed by Congress. Find out if this piece of legislation is being discussed in Congress right now or if it has already been put into place and passed by Congress. Give a short summary of the main points of the law. Make sure to connect goals. Provide a brief overview of the key tenets associated with the piece of legislation. Be sure to link goals and objectives of the legislation to one of the three major worldviews discussed in the worldview presentation and provide a clear and sufficient explanation of those links. You must incorporate citations from 4–5 scholarly sources, one of which must be the “Watch: Worldview Implications for Policy Analysis” video in Module 1: Week 1. Cite these sources according to current APA format.
