WORLDVIEW AND PERSONAL1
Question 1:
According to Christianity, God is the provider of all the things we possess that include
wisdom. Christian believes that God does exist as the Holy Spirit or in a different form since he
is the creator of the earth. While the Christian perspective of the nature of spirituality and ethics
is the best way to gain a perspective of the world, the relative idea of spirituality is truth-based
and requires extensive research (Veith 2018). In the clinical setting, according to the nursing
ethics, patients are required to provide with a dignity and respect while involving in the nursing
practice and the nursing professionals must ensure that the intervention they will provide to the
patient must promote respect and autonomy as they are human beings are created in the image of
the God (Potgieter and Van der Walt 2015).
On a different note, postmodern relativism suggested that there is no such as thing as
truth since it follows from the rejection of objective natural reality. Relativism suggested that
only human personal purpose exists. One of the most common instances of this argument
between the perspective of Christianity and the perspective of postmodern relativity is observed
in the case of euthanasia. In Christianity, euthanasia is considered as ethically wrong practice
since Christian consider murder is inhuman and it is a subjective idea that can be right or wrong
(McMahone, Locke and Roller 2015). On the other hand, relativism does not consider human
beings as special creatures rather consider the human being as other living organisms. Hence, it
does not consider euthanasia as ethically wrong practice since limited truth existed. Therefore,
the action that provides benefit to the human being cannot be considered as wrong.
Question 2:
The argument of scientism:

WORLDVIEW AND PERSONAL2
As discussed by Peels (2018), scientism is defined as a promotion of science and it is
considered as the best objective means by which society is capable of determining normative and
epistemological values. In other words, scientism is based on the concept that knowledge is only
be acquired by practicing scientific actions. According to scientism, death is considered as the
end of life and there is no life that exists after death as there is no constructive evidence to
support life after death. Hence, scientism considers logical and experimental methods are
responsible for all the knowledge the individual possesses.
In this context, two major arguments against scientism are that nonscientific sources of belief do
not deliver knowledge since only natural science can deliver knowledge and by doing natural
science, scientists inevitably rely on the nonscientific source of belief (Peels 2018). Both of the
arguments highlighted that science is more of what we can see or appreciate physically rather
based on the non-scientific source of beliefs. Considering the previous example, it can be said
that some phenomenon is required to accept through faith rather than evaluate through scientific
evidence (Conradie et al. 2015). While reincarnation is highly supported by Christianity, many
scientists provide limited evidence against the reincarnation. Hence, on a concluding note it can
be said that while everything cannot be supported through evidence, nonscientific sources of
belief must not limit the ability to think and appreciate everything.
Question 3.
a) Ultimate reality:
In Christianity, God is considered as ultimate reality who is the creator of everything.
Hence, considering my perspective, god is an ultimate reality who gives us the freedom of living
an independent life where a human being is allowed to live their life according to their terms. At
this juncture, the bible suggested that heaven and the earth are the witnesses of our choice of
