A Spectator’s guide to world views

Please Wait....

Stage 5-6

Every day we are confronted with messages, both subtle and direct, that emanate from a particular world view. But what are the implications for life if they are true?
he critical thinking skills developed within this unit will prove of value to students when engaging with issues of faith and belief both now and beyond the school gates as they negotiate the dominant voices of our culture.

By the end of this unit, students will be able to:

  • understand what a world view is and be able to identify significant differences between various world views
  • express their own world view and give a coherent defence of it
  • critique different world views from a Christian perspective and articulate the areas of ‘overlap’ and the areas of divergence.
