I enjoy reading your post. As you said the Atheistic worldview decides their lives purpose based on what they like and desire, and I wonder if deep inside them they are fully satisfied and content, once they get what they desired. You know that as humans we are complicated beings, today we like something and tomorrow we don’t like it and at times after obtaining what we want we don’t give the value we should give to that particular thing we got. So, that’s why I wonder if they are content after obtaining what they like or desire.…

It, without a doubt, is hard to change one’s worldview because worldview primarily operates as a filter of how the one interprets the reality on the subconscious level. Model United Nations, MUN, however, indeed, has rendered me with a rudiment knowledge regarding the world issues. I, throughout my MUN experiences, have learned and experienced the things that are not typical in daily life. I, by dealing with the world issues in the debates, have realized that the issues we discuss during the debate are indeed ubiquitous and it is our job to at least attempt to render a better place for the next generation. Before taking MUN class, I was apt to be a person who regard the issues going around the world as trivial affairs.…
Therefore, Christian worldview helps in assessing culture and people’s position in the society. In a similar manner, worldview shapes the people 's view of life and world differently regarding materialism, naturalism, deism, polytheism and many unseeing manners (Dockery& Thornbury, 2002). Seeing things in these perspectives provides direction and bearings when faced with different situations and challenges of new age, spirituality, secularity and pluralistic approaches to truth and morality (Dockery &Thornbury 2002). As Christians, we understand that everyone has their own opinion and view of life.…
The theistic worldview maintains that the universe was created by a perfect being who continues to actively observe it. Conversely, the atheistic worldview avows to a belief in the existence of only the materialistic world, which they contend was not created by a supernatural being. Non-believers commonly employ arguments that are grounded in the problem of evil to dispute the theist’s divine creator. The problem of evil elicits the question of how a perfect and loving God could allow evil, such as human suffering and wrongdoing, to exist in the world (Morris 263). To support their theistic worldview, it is imperative that Christians evaluate and devise logical answers to the problem of evil.…

In this reflection you ask me if my “worldview shifted” I would say yes, my worldview was full of blinders it was a straight and narrow outlook on life. My worldview was deeper than I imagined as I did have a discussion with you previous to my first reflection because it was a mark Iwas not use to or happy with and i was confused. You told me to dig deeper and i then wonder to myself am i really dinging into me or am I just talking about what's on the surface and not what's under the surface. A meaningful insight I have for this course is a difficult question to rally with.…

Abstract A worldview is a theory (or philosophy) of life or conception of the world. A world view is a mental motto of one’s actuality of living. Although our conception of life is sometimes influenced by the people who we watch on television, in our households, or who we associate ourselves with, we all have a sole outlook on the reason we are here.
