Ones’ life is directly impacted by their own view(s) of a specific situation(s) they are placed in or have experienced throughout their lifetime. A remarkable example of this comes to light within the inspirational true story of Michael Oher, a homeless African American teen, who was drug through the foster system for many years solely because he wasn’t born into a forever family. In honor of this courageous male and the family that loved he like their own, movie producer, John Lee Hancock, decided to create the film, The Blind Side.…

The lens model illustrates that people’s views of self, other, and relationship are always, to some degree, distorted. We all have filters that influence our experiences. Clearly, we use a different lens for…
1.What type of microscope would be used in the laboratory to observe very small objects or organisms on a slide? Please give reasoning behind the answer. Which microscope would be useful when studying the internal structure of a minute specimen? (2 points)…
It is the lens through which people view others and things that happen to them. One’s worldview is the culmination of their being; and influences how they will and respond to anything that happens to them. It is our personal bias. A person with a positive worldview will generally be happier, more upbeat, and quicker to bounce back from negative experiences. A person with a negative worldview will be more pessimistic and see the glass as half empty. My worldview is a positive one. I am optimistic when I think about others and life in general. I believe the world still has a lot of good, and I try to respect it and every person in it as part of God’s…
Everyone responds differently to life depending on their perspective; this is determined by whether it is a spiritual or a physical perspective. This affects how people react to dire situations. Will devastation cause a downward spiral in the wrong direction or will it inspire hope? The way an individual reacts is determined by what they “see”. Some see circumstances as overwhelming, while others allow those same circumstances to catapult them into great hope.…
“A worldview is your philosophy of life. It is the framework you bring to decision-making” (Weider & Gutierrez, 2011, p.69). How we view the world leads us to our destination.…
During the Ethical Lens Inventory exercise that I did, I learned that I do not really have a personal preferred ethical lens. I see the gifts and the weaknesses of each lens and I am able to move fluidly among them to adapt the right tools to each situation to assure the best outcome. I am able to use my reasoning skills to determine my duties, as well as the universal rules and the systems that will assure fairness and justice for everyone. I also listen to my intuition to determine the greatest good for each individual, as well as the virtues that will best serve the community.…
The term Worldview has several different ways it can be defined, and because it is so complex some people mistakenly think they don’t have one. But it is very important to understand that we all have a worldview, even if we don’t realize it. Worldview is a person’s viewpoint of life, it is the frame work in which a person makes decisions. Some people view it as their moral compass, while others view it more as a lens or filter in which they use to interpret the world around them.…
In short, a worldview is “the framework of beliefs by which a person views the world around him” (Caner & Hindson, 498). Coined by Prussian philosopher, Immanuel Kant, it originally translated as “our intuition of the world” but later came to be known as worldview. However, a worldview cannot be summed up in just one sentence. Every person has a worldview, or a philosophy of life. Each person has a filter, or a lens, they use when making decisions. This is based on personal experiences and should also be based on truth, logic, and evaluation. The problem with varying worldviews is not every person or society uses truth, logic, and evaluation to form one.…
With every perspective come consequences that can be devastating in effect. As an example, the idea of Eugenics and the devaluing of human life lead to the atrocities that have left calamitous scars in history. Not to say that such things will always occur, but the worldviews that became generally accepted paved the way towards destruction. If we accept ideas that are inconsistent or allow us to do things that should be considered morally wrong, there can be unintentional consequences. That is why it is severely important to be aware of one’s own viewpoint. In addition, it is extremely beneficial to be conscious of other peoples’ worldviews, since this will help us understand their thoughts and actions and allow us to respond accordingly. (Word Count:…
The three primary components of my personal worldview are God, spiritual knowledge, and ethics - because they strongly influence all my thoughts, experiences, and life decisions. Putting God first in my life is sometimes rather difficult. It’s probably the most difficult thing for any Christian person to do. However, it’s probably meant to be difficult as a testimony of faith. God has great wisdom to impart to each one of us, but we must always put him first in our lives if we are to reap the benefits. As I’ve learned to view my life from God 's eternal perspective it became easier to understand what will last for eternity and what will be destroyed. My belief in a loving and forgiving God plays an important role in my daily life.…
From the theories of Sigmund Freud to humanistic theories of personality, how one views others greatly influences how one sees the world and vice versa. Because the theories are so different—some suggesting that human nature is ill, evil, or bad, while others believe it is intrinsically good—it is easy to see why people’s views of others and the world are so different. However, each person has a single theory or belief that influences the way they others. For me, that theory is Carl Rogers’ theory of personality, and this theory greatly impacts how I view others in society and in the workplace, in addition to my own role in society and the workplace.…
