Understanding One’s Personal Worldview

          One’s worldview gives an over-all view of the context by which one lives his life.  Changing your worldview can transport you to a new world and way of life.

             Worldview is a person’s fundamental outlook or life perspective which includes perceptions of deity, humanity and the rest of the universe.  It is the main source of one’s moral code, ethics and many other beliefs. Understanding it will help you make sense of your world and help you make choices for living your life. It helps you realize how you differ from other individuals in their approach towards such life issues as abortion.

            People are not normally aware of their worldview or that they have a worldview and as such are rarely verbalized.  But persons’ worldview can be deduced from their actions. A person who is open and trusting of others believe that most people are honest and trustworthy.

When asked, most people are unable to describe their world-view because they remain in their mind as set of feelings and basic attitudes about the world. They are not clearly formulated opinions but rather fuzzy assumptions about people, society, and existence in general.
