Reflection On Worldview

Worldview or vision of life is framework or set of fundamental beliefs thru which we view world and our

Another way I was able to connect with this excerpt was through the pen and pencil analogy. I personally believed that a worldview was something that was concrete and absolute, but from this, I was able to see that there are some points that should be completely solid but others have room to change. Being here at Eastern I believe that I will be guided in making some of the changes that may need to be erased and find a new

Everyone has a worldview, whether we know it or not. Worldview is the way a person makes sense of the world, life and reality. For example: I view the glass as half full, but you might view the glass as half empty. We both see the glass but we do not agree on how to view it. Our worldview is formed by our education, family beliefs, the culture we live in, and media we are exposed to. For many of us our surrounding culture influences our worldview and we have never had to think about why we believe what we believe and we wouldn’t be able to defend our beliefs to others.

We all have a worldview, a set of lenses used to view all of life and reality. Our individual

A “worldview is a set of beliefs or truth claims that form a framework for making sense out of life and the world” (MacCullough, Ed.D., 2012, p. 15). Basically, it is how we view the world. We all have our own perception in the way we view the world. Our worldview is what we believe the answers are in our everyday life and what we believe are the answers to everything we do or are involved in. This includes everything from our values, beliefs, and our actions. It also includes how we view

Everyone has a Worldview. “A collection of beliefs about life and the universe held by an individual or a group.” (1) Some have a Biblical Worldview. A Biblical Worldview is founded on the word of God. It is how a Christian views the world. Both belief systems are equally important to each individual, but there are differences in the way they view the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and culture.

2 Part I According to (Merriam-Webster, n.d.), worldview is defined as a comprehensive conception or apprehension of the world especially from a specific standpoint. This definition implies that the way an individual view the world may be due to a variety of factors such as their culture, ethnicity, and/or religion. For Christians, our worldview is shaped by the Holy Bible. Often, this book

Throughout this class we have discussed the different worldviews that an individual may have. This class has taught me that a worldview is how an individual understands the world and their place in it. “A worldview consist of what a person believes to be real and true, what a person values, how a person makes decisions, and what forms a person’s desires, longings, and goals” (Fuller, Lecture One). An individual’s worldview is the motivating force behind their every emotion, decision, and action. A worldview is what helps an individual make sense of life and this world. A worldview will provide answers for many different questions in life. A few of the questions that a worldview helps answer are questions of origin, human dilemma, hope, and destiny.

A worldview is the lens through which one looks at the world. Specifically, worldview is a set of presuppositions, assumptions that can be entirely true, partially true, or not true at all, that govern the way one perceives the world and make moral judgements and decisions. Worldview can be compared to the foundation of a building on which everything else rests including ideas of morality, decision-making, and life questions concerning purpose and origin.

What is a world view? A worldview is an individual’s view on life. It is the philosophy with which we live. It makes us who we are and is shaped by our experiences, culture, and background (Smith, 2015). A worldview is fluid, it changes as we change and discover our identities. It is made up of the questions that humans may ask to determine their wealth to the world or their purpose in life. Our worldview can make us gravitate toward other individuals with similar beliefs. It is a unifying factor in our day to day interactions with people and the world as a whole. It is the way that we determine what is “considered meaningful, what is worth doing, and which causes may require sacrifice”

world−what it is, why it is and how it operates. Within a person’s mind [a worldview]

Every person on earth has a mental reality, which we call worldview. It is what a person finds in his/her world and it could be true or not. In other words’ it is putting together of all the things we believe whether they are or not. It could be through education, observation, experience or just because those we trust also believe. Every decision we make is based on the worldview we have developed.

Today’s society consists of many worldviews. Most people tend to pull beliefs from different religions, but often stick to one main worldview. A worldview to me is the gathering of beliefs that shape what we do on a daily basis and forms our overall view on life. When I look at my beliefs critically, I am able to see my worldview and see how it compares to different worldviews, but also how it compares mainly to the Christian Worldview.

A worldview is a system of beliefs that we model our lives after. It is how we perceive the world and others around us (Rusbult, n.d.). A person’s worldview is affected by how he/she is raised, his/her culture, his/her living situation (Rusbult, n.d.). A person’s parents and upbringing plays an important part in how that person interacts with others and thinks. A world view is like wearing colored glasses (Gutierrez, 2014). The way we see things, or perceive things, is based on the color of the glasses we are wearing. Where did we get these colored glasses? We obtain our “worldview glasses” from our parents, our culture, our friends, the media, and our religious beliefs. (109 words)

A worldview involves the mind, but it is a commitment [and] a matter of the soul." (pg. 20). He further explains that the heart is, "the central defining element of the human person" (pg. 20). Therefore, it is one way a framework of thinking and believing that God built into us and it is a set of my basic beliefs–about God, the world, human beings, death, as well as much more monotonous things–that make up what we assume to be accurate. Out of my worldview, I can examine, form decisions, and make sense of my beliefs. Sire, in the book, The Universe Next Door defines a worldview as a basic set of beliefs and “concepts that work together to provide a coherent frame of reference for all thought and action” (pg. 16).
