Paper Summary:
The paper discusses how religion, culture, gender, sexual preference, socio-economic status and nationality all impact an individual's worldview. The paper then shows how a worldview shapes one's personal values, identities, and priorities in life as well as relationships, career choices, behaviors and cognitions.From the Paper:
"A worldview is a lens or filter through which individuals perceive reality. Worldviews shape personal values, identities, and priorities in life as well as relationships, career choices, behaviors, and cognitions. Religion, socioeconomic status, place of birth, culture, religion, and lifestyle all influence worldview. Not all variables impacting worldview are external, though. Namely, a person's psychology and personality interact with external factors to create worldviews. Who he or she interacts with daily also impact how the individual views and interprets the world. Education and the media also mold people's outlooks on life. The media presents powerful images and themes that influence how a person perceives important issues like sexuality, money, the value of work, and the meaning of life."Sample of Sources Used:
