Diversity of voices
- Consider how a Western Judeo-Christian worldview we examined in Week 2 might respond to the question of whether drilling for oil in the Alaska Wildlife Refuge should occur. Note that there is a diversity of voices within Judeo-Christian traditions, so pick one perspective under this broad umbrella. Please make sure that you demonstrate your knowledge of the main characteristics of a perspective within this worldview from the readings and lessons. Briefly quote either the Week 2 Module or one of the Week 2 readings at least once (by page number if possible).
- Consider how a non-western perspective that we examined in Week 3 might respond to the question of whether drilling for oil in the Alaska Wildlife Refuge should occur. Please make sure that you demonstrate your knowledge of the main characteristics of your chosen worldview (like Buddhism or Islam, for example), from the readings and lessons. Briefly quote either the Week 3 Module or one of the Week 3 readings at least once (by page number if possible).
- What is your position on this issue, in light of the perspectives you have discussed? Your answer should reflect an understanding of the worldviews you have discussed, along with the ethical dimensions of drilling for oil in this location. You should give reasons for the position that you have.
