Personal Narrative: My Personal Worldview

1274 Words6 Pages

We all come from different back grounds and walks of life. Each one of us has our own personal view of the world and how we view it from our own lens. With each one of our experiences, good or bad, it helps shapes what we call our worldview. The worldview of each person varies; and none will ever be the same because we each live different lives and yes, maybe influenced a lot by our religion but, we see things differently and handle situations uniquely because we are our own individuals. There are seven questions I asked myself since we got assigned this paper and I’m comfortable with the answers I’ve come up with and my worldview I’ve grown to acquire with my experiences, traditions, and religions.

As a child I was raised in a strict household always having to maintain straight A’s and couldn’t go play outside until all my homework was done. My parents are not the best in the world, but they taught me a lot of valuable lessons not just about how to live but how to treat others. Treating others well is a big part in many Native communities. We are all taught at an early age to be nice towards one another and always help to those in need, not out of virtuous deeds, but out of respect and care towards all walks of life. I was taught by my parents, grandparents, friends and other community members. Right and wrong for me come from being taught by those older than me to be respectful, have integrity, be responsible, stay committed and be a leader. I think the meaning of human history is that we are destined to go somewhere physically and spiritually. Our journey does not end at death, nor does it begin at birth. I believe there is much more we have yet to learn about our past and our future.
This is my worldview of how I see and interpret the world. It may not be the same in a couple years, but I shall continue to learn and be aware that everyone is unique and have different perspectives on the world around us. I am a learner and a puzzle of the big picture around

A personal worldview may cause dissention amongst friends, family, and people you encounter. Each of these topics are controversial and the views of those that agree with one another, are in harmony until they are confronted with someone with a worldview in complete opposition. The religious worldview taught to an individual when they were young becomes a source of comfort and help, it doesn’t matter what your religion because these beliefs are often passed from generation to generation with the concept that this is the “correct religion” and all others are wrong.

We must be able to actively listen and be open about to new ideas. Walsh and Middleton state, “We must recognize that our vision of life is always limited. It must be open to correction and refinement, even from other world views” (1984, p. 39). We can use the world views to better ourselves and see what we are doing wrong. More so, the authors challenge the reader by asking how can a Christian learn from other cultures when the bible is meant to be the guide of life?

There are various ways to describe what a worldview is, to some it’s a view of what the world is, to others it’s their biblical views or foundation, or even their personal views or opinions. Weider and Gutierrez define a worldview as something that holds much meaning, as well as many emotions and potential consequences. It’s a response of our heart or inner being, our intellect, emotion, and will; it’s your philosophy of life and the framework you bring to making decisions. (Weider & Gutierrez, 2014, pp. 58-59).

I have the standard set of beliefs as most people; don’t do anything illegal or to harm anyone, be a decent person, help those who need it. However, I’ve struggled most with the old adage of “treat others as you want to be treated”. It seemed simple enough to me as a child, and thus I began to do just as the age-old advice said. In most instances I have gotten what I’ve expected in return. My grades reflect my efforts at school, the treatment of me by my sister was indicative of how many names I had called her that day.

Logan my brother who I love sometimes,Cassie My best friend, Easton Cassie’s brother,Sawyer Cassie’s brother, Mr. Wychers and I were going to ride our bikes through a trail off in the woods and go to Whistle stop and then cut through town and head to Houseman's.
