...Worldview Assignment I. A Worldview is the philosophy of life and the world around us. Everyone has a different worldview by what they perceive it to be. Ones actions and decisions are made by their very own worldview. A person who is unnecessarily emotional is going to have an emotional worldview. Therefore, that very same persons perspective could change due to their circumstances in life. “...people base their worldview on how they feel.” (Hindson & Caner, 2008) II. 1. The Question of Origin: The Christian worldview of the origin of life is believed to be the first stage of existence that God created all, including humans and animals. Life, as we know it, came in the form of our eternal living God (Genesis 1). We are “fearfully and wonderfully made” as thus stated in Psalm 139:13-14, God created woman to bear children and for the womb to be His canvas. 2. The Question of Identity: Our identity consists of Gods image and likeness for which we were created (Genesis 1:26-27). We represent Him by our actions and our words to portray His identity. Since we are “made in His image”, how we carry ourselves will express the identity of God. We, as man, are responsible for taking care of God’s creation such as the animals and the earth (Genesis 2:15). Since man carries a hierarchy over all living creatures on earth, animals were not created “in His image”. Therefore, our true identity lies within our Creator. 3. The Question of Meaning/Purpose: Our purpose...

...through their everyday life. A worldview is created on a daily basis while going through and encountering life. It consists of morals, thoughts, feelings and the beliefs of the individual. (WC:55) Part II The Question of Origin – (How did life begin? How did mankind come into existence?) The Christian worldview about the origin life and how we all came about is that it all began with the hand of God. This worldview comes from the given facts from within the Bible. In fact, the first chapter of the Bible (New King James Version, Genesis: 1) is where the origin of mankind begins. It is said many times throughout the Bible that God says it is he who created the heavens and the earth and placed mankind into existence (New King James Version, Isaiah 45:12).Our origin of life and existence is given to us all throughout the word of God. The Question of Identity – (What does it mean to be human? Are humans more important than animals?) God created man through his own image and with his own hands (New King James Version, Genesis 1:26-27). God specifically intends for mankind to be different from any other living creation. In His word we read that man is to rule over all the birds, fish and any other creature moving on the earth. It was intended by the Holy Spirit that mankind be a superior species to all other living creatures (New King James Version, Genesis 2:15). It is also said in the Bible that God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed life into the nostrils...

...thousand year ago there was an Iron Age Celtic culture through-out the Bristish Isles.Its seems that the Celts, who had been arriving from the eighth century BC onwards, intermingled with the peoples who were already there.For people in Britain today, the chief significance of the prehistoric period is its sense of mystery.This sense finds its focus most easily in the astonishing monumental architecture of this period, the remains of which exist throughout the country. Wiltshire, in south-western England, has two spectacular. The Roman period (43-410) The Roman province of Britannia covered most of present-day England and Wales. The Romans imposed their own way of life and culture, making use of the existing Celtic aristocracy to govern and encouraging this ruling class to adopt Roman dress and the Roman language. They exerted an influence, without actually governing there, over the southern part of Scotland. The remarkable thing about the Roman is that, despite their long occupation of Britain, they left very little behind. To many other part of Europe they bequeathed a system of law and administration which forms the basis of the modern system and a language. Moreover, most of their villas,bayhs and temples, their impressive network of roads, and the cities they founded, including Londinium, were soon destroyed or fell into disrepair. The Germanic invasions (410-1066) Duringthe fifth century, a number of tribes from the north-western European mainland invaded and...

...During the early civilization of Rome, Romans became very efficient using many tools to aid daily tasks. Paper was very expensive during this time. The making of paper came from papyrus reeds or parchment. Papyrus, from which the word paper is derived, was made by weaving reeds to form a sheet and then beating the sheet down to a flat surface. Parchment is created from the very thin layers taken from skins of animals. Papyrus and parchment were both used to record important documents and some books however not many people in Rome could afford an abundant amount of paper. Wax tablets were then created as a more efficient and cheaper alternate for making lists, leaving instructions, and education of boys. They were made with two rectangular...

...What is a Myth? Before defining the term "mythology" one needs to define the meaning of the word "myth". The word itself comes from the Greek "mythos" which originally meant "speech" or "discourse" but which later came to mean "fable" or "legend". So the word "myth" is defined as a story of forgotten or vague origin, basically religious or supernatural in nature, which seeks to explain or rationalize one or more aspects of the world or a society. Furthermore, all myths are, at some stage, actually believed to be true by the peoples of the societies that used or originated the myth. The definition is thus clearly distinguished from the use of the word myth in everyday speech which basically refers to any unreal or imaginary story. A myth is also distinctly different from an allegory or parable which is a story deliberately made up to illustrate some moral point but which has never been assumed to be true by anyone. Some myths describe some actual historical event, but have been embellished and refashioned by various story tellers over time so that it is impossible to tell what really happened. In this last aspect myths have a legendary and historical nature. Definitions of Mythology The word mythology has two related meanings. Firstly it refers to a collection of myths that together form a mythological system. Thus one can speak of "Egyptian Mythology", "Indian Mythology", "Maori Mythology" or "Greek Mythology". In this sense one is describing a system of myths which were...

...Personal Response on Sexuality Identity PSY/265 August 26, 2012 William Noffsinger Personal Response on Sexuality Identity My own value systems and my sexual standards have been influenced by many sources. My parents, religion, peers, subculture, and appraisal from influences have all combined to influence my own value system. Prior to taking this class, I used the legalism approach to form all my values on sexual experiences. Growing up, I was taught that sex before marriage was wrong. As I grew into a young adult, I used the situational ethics approach, and I still do today. The approach that formulates a value system based on moral law is the legalism approach (Rathus, Nevid, and Fichner-Rathus, 2005). However, the situational ethics approach bases decisions on the value system according to the situation at hand. Prior to losing my virginity at age 17, I was taught that sex before marriage was wrong. However, I did not personally believe this. I was skeptical about what I was taught, and usually examined the actions of others to base my own decisions. I listened to the experiences and opinions of others who had waited to have sex or had sex before marriage. I used critical thinking when making my decisions, but was always cautious about drawing any kind of conclusions on what was right or wrong. I also considered the alternative, not having sex. I have to be honest, everyone else was having sex and I wanted to experience for myself. Having sex was actually a big...

...The native language of the Romans was Latin, an Italic language the grammar of which relies little on word order, conveying meaning through a system of affixes attached to word stems. Its alphabet was based on the Etruscan alphabet, which was in turn based on the Greek alphabet. Although surviving Latin literature consists almost entirely of Classical Latin, an artificial and highly stylized and polished literary language from the 1st century BC, the spoken language of the Roman Empire was Vulgar Latin, which significantly differed from Classical Latin in grammar and vocabulary, and eventually in pronunciation. While Latin remained the main written language of the Roman Empire, Greek came to be the language spoken by the well-educated elite,...

...The Renaissance is an art movement that commonly refers to a corresponding historical time period falling in between the 14th and the 17th centuries. It began in the part of Europe which is now known as Italy, during a time when the area was organized into city-states and other political territories formed in the few centuries following the fall of the Roman Republic. This region was a large center of trade and thus, there was much wealth to draw many artists and scholars. However, there was a shift from the scholasticism of earlier mediaeval times to largely focusing on the humanities. There was also an emphasis on realism, attempting to remain as objective as possible when interpreting various works; drawing from studies in form, line, lighting, and the human figure based in Greek and Roman times. Eventually, in the last couple centuries of the period, the influences had spread across Europe partially due to the invention of the printing press. Several examples of Renaissance era artists are Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Hieronymus Bosch.Surrealism is an art movement that officially started in 1924 with the publication of Le Manifeste du Surréalisme (The Surrealist Manifesto), written by André Breton. Surrealism is believed to have been formed as a reaction to the earlier Dadaism art movement, which aimed to be an anti-art protest of the horrors brought about from World War I. Focusing on the more positive side of that protest/revolutionary process, the surrealists sought...

...of medieval monks. “The Name of The Rose” is a historical murder mystery combining fiction, biblical analysis, medieval studies and literary theory. The movie is very appropriate for historical class, because it simply describes the debate on the poverty of the clergy, but not converted beyond recognition. The scenes of the life in Abbey describe challenges and promises of monastic life. Such characters as dithering abbot and fat cellarer, quirky herbalist and dedicated illuminator demonstrate the variety of occupation and different personalities within the walls of the monastery. The scenes where after the second murder even the abbey became under the apprehension that they are experiencing the last days before the coming of Antichrist, is a perfect evidence that in the fourteen century many experienced divorce from the scholarly world turned to superstition, heretic movements, or apocalyptical outbursts. Moreover, the movie accurately described some parts of daily life medieval monks. The dining sessions, scenes of prayers, psalms and hymns were showed properly. Medieval monks devoted their lives to strict routine and discipline of life. For example, the part where elderly blind monk was angry at other monks because they were laughing claiming that monks never fool themselves. In the movie there were many scenes that performed the process of coping the manuscripts of classical authors as well. 2. Evaluate the following statement: As the film suggests, questions...

...Everyone has a worldview, which is a set of principles that you are judged right or wrong and guides you in everyday living. One’s worldview is also based on decision making choices as well and how one sees and portrays the world around them. Perception changes and as a result of those changes ones interpretation or worldview of the world deviates as well. II.
