Detailed Worldview Outline
Introduction:
In order to really understand and know a person, it is imperative that a closer look is taken in regards to their worldview. A person’s worldview can be characterized by their morals, values, what they believe their responsibilities are, and their outlook on life in general. In order to assess this worldview, it would be pertinent to ask questions like; “Who is God”,
“What are human beings”, and “Is there a purpose to life”. * Who is God and what are His characteristics? * God is the almighty creator of the universe, and the father of the creation including mankind. * God has many characteristics including that he is loving, just, nurturing, fair, and merciful. * What is a human being and what happens when you die? * Humans are God’s children that he created in order to have a family. * When a human being dies, I do not believe that anything happens at first. Your physical body dies, and nothing is left. Once Christ returns at his second coming, all of those who died in the faith shall be resurrected. * What is the nature of the universe? * The universe is a complex and intricate place that reflects the elaborate imagination of its creator. * An important characteristic within the universe is the balance that is found between light and dark, hot and cold, and the many laws like gravity and inertia that affect those living within it. * How do you know what you know? How do you know what is true? * Everything that I have come to know and understand in developing my worldview has come from research, study, and observation. * I myself know what is true based on what I feel I understand and comprehend to be. * What is right and wrong or how can we know there is a right

Role Model Review- Oprah Winfrey

...Date: July 24, 2012 Class: CWV-101 Christian Worldview Instructor: Dr. Scott Hovater Role Model Review- Oprah Winfrey When asked to write a Role Model review I knew exactly who I wanted to write about and then I read the instructions that it had to be someone that was relatively well known. This made this assignment a little harder for me and a little more challenging. When going through and looking at other people that I could use as a Role Model I chose to do it on Oprah Winfrey. I picked Oprah because she is a person that is always looking to help someone out that is in need of help no matter what the conditions are that she has to deal with in the enviroment to get these people the help they need. In this review I am hoping to tell you a little about Oprah and her beliefs and what I feel her Worldview is. Oprah Winfrey was born on January 29, 1954 and lives in Montecito CA. She lives with her partner Stedman Graham. Oprah is an American media proprietor, talk show host, actress, producer and philanthropist. She is best known for her multi award winning talk show.

Worldview Essay

...Latasha Williams CWV-101 January 19, 2014 Thomas Joseph Worldview and Its Impact Ever wondered what causes us think and act a certain way? According to Mark Cosgrove (2006), each one of us has “a set of beliefs about reality that affect how we think and how we live” (p.19). This set of beliefs is called a worldview. A worldview gives us a universal image of all reality to which we relate our own understanding and comprehension. “Every worldview is expressed through a foundational story, a set of symbols, practices, and beliefs” (McCormack, 2008). Simply put, “a worldview helps us put our daily experiences and choices into a clearer perspective” (Cosgrove, 2006). This paper will reveal my worldview to be a Christian worldview and how this worldview governs my thoughts and actions. There have been on-going debates about the existence of God and His role in the creation process. Some atheists would have you believe that God does not exist, that the Bible is a book of myths, and that the universe and all life is the product of random, undirected events. Who is God to me? I view God as the Creator of the universe and all things on earth; my Heavenly Father. The Bible states: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” (Genesis 1:1, King James Version). To me no other explanation matters; we exist because of God. God possesses many qualities that draw people to him. God is love (1 John 4:8). Moses describes God as “merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and...
