Worldview : Historical Context Of Your Pre Collegiate Education

The phrase “worldview” is a mental framework of all people and groups to interpret the nature of reality and the world we live in. It is philosophical, metaphysical or an ideological reality of the world we live in. The worldview is also used in understanding the law governing relationships among human beings, nature and the purpose of human life. They are attitudes and ideas about the world we live in and a thorough understanding of the systems of all the beliefs which hope will provide all the answers to the range of questions within ourselves as human beings. In most cases, worldviews are as a result of our human life experiences, and they subsequently shape as individuals in the approach we have to live. This paper

As a young boy, I never truly put much into school. I put as little thought about college as well, but it took one moment that made me want the desire to succeed in my life and make something of it. Working for 12 straight hours in the middle of the hot sun, making minimum wage wasn't how I wanted to live. Going to multiple jobs and having to work all weekend, even during school occasionally was extremely difficult. This just gave me that extra drive to be more superior than anyone else. Yet, I never gave up and still pushed to be the best student I could be. Staying up late nights just to finish homework so I was able to make the best grade in class. The simplest moments in life made we want to be the best

My main weakness is my ability to manage a classroom. I must learn to establish myself as the teacher, and that my word has meaning behind it. I must create an environment that allows the students to understand the reason for the things we are doing, and that it is imperative that they are engaged in the learning to become a more balanced

The school system serves 68.3% white families, about 11.9% Hispanic families, 12.2% black families, 2.4% Asian, and the other 5% multi-racial families. Bailly

I may have a few weaknesses, but also have a couple of good strengths when it comes to school. I am very organized when it comes to paper work and class. I normally have a folder for each class and divided by different sections. Being on time is a big strength for me. I do not like to be late. Being on time also makes me prepare for class calm and not anxious.

In the Book of Romans Paul wrote many letters answering questions about the human world, mankind’s relations with God, the natural world and most importantly the plan of salvation. Paul wrote these letters to tell the truth, to tell that no matter what race or religion, we are all sinner and the only way to truly become righteous is though faith in Jesus Christ. In Rome at that time you had two extremes of people, the heathens, and those who thought they were holier than thou (Jews). In todays society we still have those two extremes but we also have a middle ground, those who are straddling the fence. Paul just wanted the entire human race to know that we are guilty before God for both past and

This semester of Christian Worldview has been beneficial for me learning more about all different types of worldviews. I started this class with a Christian background but a clean slate of not knowing what my true worldview really was. As I went through the semester, I gained tons of new knowledge to help me understand how my opinions matched with the different worldviews.

In 1976 black students accounted for 1% and Hispanics made up .03% of total enrollment at two and four year colleges, while the percentage of whites enrolled was 83%. By 2011, both black and Hispanic enrollment had increased by 14% with white enrollment decreasing by 24%. These numbers illustrate that the black share of total enrollment between 1976 and 2011 almost doubled, the Hispanic share quadrupled and the White

Racial disparities in educational funding clearly exists throughout the United States. The states that their per-pupil expenditures for Black and Hispanic students hover around 90 percent of those for white students include Illinois, New York, and Pennsylvania (Baker). Massachusetts and New Jersey are one of the few states that high poverty areas receive greater support from the state than low poverty districts (Baker).

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.

The most intensive and challenging learning experience that I have faced is in a college course here at BGSU, Great Ideas with Dr. Heath Diehl. It is a component of the Honors College program; of which I am a member. The class is center around the idea of “worldviews,” comprehensive philosophical ways that one understands the world through. These include ideas like pragmatism, archetypical philosophy, and scientific beliefs. I found the class very interesting, but the final project was a herculean task: a massive project where I had to detail my own worldview in a sprawling website that I must create. While I had the entire semester to complete the project, I struggled with starting it. What was my worldview? How would I even describe it? How

The worldview I studied is The Way International. This society is a teaching and Bible research ministry founded in 1942 by Victor Paul Wierville. It is an international society that draws it’s membership from countries such as the United States of America, United Kingdom, Argentina, Chile, Democratic Republic of Congo and other parts of the world. The headquarters of this ministry is located in New Knoxville, Ohio. The teaching of The Way International is based on the second book of Peter chapter one, reading from the twentieth verse (2 Peter 1:20). It reads from the King James Version as, “Knowing this first that, no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation”. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Way_International

In the area of weakness – There is a Lack of parental support at home. Many parents are on section 8 and they stay home, however, students do not get their academic activities completed, such as homework. So there is a lack of accountability for parents.

When an obstacle came my way, I was able to identify there was an issue, reach out to those around me, and most importantly stay positive. Everyone was right in their own way. My peers reminded me to have fun, my teacher reminded me to always listen and take notes, and my parents reminded they are there for me. This experience made me think, overcoming obstacles can be challenging for anyone. I am glad I have a good support system. Sometimes the advice I receive may seem like no one understands what I am going through, but I should listen and make the advice work for my situation. Things did not work out right away, but eventually they

Throughout my educational experience, I have endured countless hardships that made progress difficult at times. Although it was a struggle through my strong dedication to education, I have also earned a list of achievements for my hard work. These experiences from, failing two of my English classes, to excelling tremendously in mathematics, have molded me into the type of student I am today. I am a student with a growth mindset and, an optimistic outlook on education and, the bright future ahead. I now understand the impact that a positive mindset can have on your future. I am definitely proud of the student I have become. I feel like my journey is unique, but is also very relatable.
