1) related to a notion of sacred reality, 2) that humans can be in contact with and 3) has an impact on human life and so, 4) helps to structure and order human life. From everyday activities to global policy decisions, religious perspectives have a monumental impact, even on those that are not religious.

In light of this, please illustrate in the religious tradition of your choice the way in which that tradition's notion of sacred reality influences ethical decisions. Pick an ethical issue (murder, abortion, war, climate justice, indigenous people's rights, global human rights, etc....), then address how that religious tradition makes its claims about right and wrong on the ethical topic.

For example, your initial question might be something like "In the X religious tradition, the issue of abortion can be viewed in two ways. How is it that the notion of sacred reality they hold leads to this kind of response?"

Then, in the body of your post, you can elaborate, maybe something like, "In class we learned about the distinction between deontological and teleological ethical decision making. In the case of X tradition, it would seem as though they rely more on the ______ way of decision making. It would appear to be the case because of the way those making ethical claims in the tradition refer to ______ as the trusted source for guidance from the sacred. However, those in the tradition that have a different perspective counter with claims about the authority of ____. I would argue that, because most in this tradition claim ____, they seem to rely on more of a ______ way of ethical decision making. However, I am curious as to what others think. Would you say they rely more on deontology or teleology, or some other way of ethical decision making?"
