I have been developing my worldview for the past 22 years. Every single day I expand my worldview by reading, listening, watching, exploring, and learning. Although I have been expanding my worldview since I was born I have been narrowing down and focusing on my worldview when I entered college. Taking Core IX has helped me stabilize my current worldview. As we study Christian Humanism I find myself aligning more with these values. A Christian Humanist recognizes the inherent dignity in every human being (Rueter 8/22). In my manifesto, I will focus on my whole worldview.
