Recommended: Religion and its impact on the world

To the best of my current understanding a worldview is the lens through which we see the world. The country and culture we grew up in and the type of families that we have and the peers that we surround ourselves with all influence our worldview. It influences the way in which we take in information about the world around us and it is shaped by the lens of our own experiences. (Word Count: 72) What is my worldview? My worldview has been strongly shaped by the fact that I grew up outside of the United States on a mission field in a country recovering from war with American parents and Muslims as my best friends.

Each persons worldview develops overtime as he or she experiences new events and interacts with the world that surrounds them. A worldview provides the answers to one’s origin, purpose, and destiny.

  • Worldview Vs Worldview

    2637 Words  | 6 Pages

    A worldview is a particular philosophy of life or conception of the world. Everybody has their own opinion of a worldview. To me, a worldview is the perspective in which one person views the world. Norman Geisler and William Watkins see a worldview as this, “A worldview is a way of viewing or interpreting all of reality. It is an interpretive framework through which or by which one makes sense of the data of life and the world.” When they say “an interpretive framework” they are talking about seeing a worldview as a pair of glasses. When you put on your pair of glasses you see the world clearly. When you put on someone else’s glasses you may not see things as well as they see them. If the prescription for the glasses is someone else’s, then you would more than likely see through them distortedly. Now if you have the proper prescription, the glasses will help you see the world clearly. This is analogous to worldviews. Prescription glasses can either hurt or help your eyes, as your worldview will either hurt or help your mind as it tries to understand the world. If your worldview shows the truth of God’s Word, then that worldview will help you see the world clearly as it is supposed to be seen. If your worldview is that there is no belief in God, then when you look at the design in nature, you have to see something other in design. You have to see an accident that happens to look like a design. Just an example; when you look at Mount Rushmore, do you see design, or do you see an accident? You have to see design, because there is no way that the rocks that are carved out of Mount Rushmore just had accidentally happened. A worldview can tremendously influence the way someone lives there life. If you are looking from t...
