Worldview Writing Assignment Part 1 The general definition of a worldview as we all know is a person’s perspective on the world. We get these worldviews from personal experiences, but mostly we obtain them from assumptions. For example, in high school there is a new student from another country. We assume that because this student is from a different country that he is smart, which may not be true. The new student is a symbol for a worldview, it shows that we as people judge a situation and make what we want to make of it, but do not see it for what the situation actually is. To me a worldview is being able to put yourself in someone else’s shoes and imagining you growing up in a different country with a different family, belief and education. (Word count 132) A biblical worldview is something that every Christian has without knowing it. The biblical worldview is taking all Christian values and teachings and blending it together with life lessons and even school subjects. We also need to know that God is the center of everything and how God is revealed in life in general. This is believed because it is the truth. As Christians we need to think like critical thinkers and not pretend we know something that we do not know. When we do that we tend to stray away from Gods word and start making it our own.

I always imagine what it would be like growing up in a place where I did not know about the grace of God or even have a home. It helps me understand people around the world and why they believe what they believe. We need to realize that if we want world peace, we are going to have to understand one another and put ourselves in someone else’s shoes rather than staying in our own and forming opinions about them. (Word count 100) Without understanding what “worldview” is we will never be able to stand up to those who criticize not only us as a person, but as a believer in Christ. We need to take other people’s beliefs into consideration before we use our own to rebuttal. Look at the situation through their eyes, they may be completely wrong about religion but we would feel defensive if someone was telling us that our beliefs were wrong. With understanding other worldviews we can find middle ground. Put yourself in the shoes of another person and think about what has shaped their own worldview. (Word count 100)
