Worldview is the overall perspective in which a person sees the world. As a Christian by birth, faith, and life, I have a strong worldview in which I live. My worldview and my faith are known about me by those around me. The three components that make up my worldview are God, Ultimate Reality, and Human Nature, because they shaped my thoughts, experiences, education and life decisions.…

We as humans are extraordinary beings; we’ve created diseases, and cured them; we’ve built nuclear bombs, created civilizations, made hybrid species, and have managed to come up with laws that were to be followed by people while a higher authority were chosen to enforce them. Yet we can’t seem to figure out the truth behind reality, and how to distinguish what’s real and what’s fake. Are the things we imagine just mere figments of our imaginations, or are they things we’ve seen or experienced before? Is your mind the ultimate guide to happiness and truth, or is experiencing things for yourself the only way to find the true meaning of life? Or is living in a cave confined of your own ignorance your ideal way to live a happy life?…
Growing up we are all told the direction of our paths- go to school, graduate, get a job, get married, have kids/grandkids, and finally, retire. It’s the inescapable reality that is forced upon us throughout our whole existence. As society we are forced into conventionalism, pushed towards a dream that we do not even necessarily desire, but since it is the ‘norm’ we conform to it out of lack of knowledge of the world. Just the thought of how many other millions of people there are in the world, and how miniscule we are in the grandee scheme of the world is quite over whelming. As Shakespeare said it: think of your life as if we are all actors in a play and we all have that one small role with one line to say. The majority of us would try to execute that line in the most powerful and prominent voice we could ever possibly muster, in hopes that the audience might notice us. Hoping, praying that we had made the play better with just that one line. With our lives we want to try and make a difference, to be noticed, but that rarely happens. Why? Because we are forced into being Orthodox, forced into being people that are way less then what we are capable of. We may have the most outstanding and brilliant ideas ever to be thought of but they will never be heard because we are taught that the average don’t make it ‘big’. How many of you personally know someone from your younger years that actually became famous for something positive, like stopping global warming? I’m going to go with next to none of you do. We are taught at a certain age that we should just give up on our dreams and ambitions and go after something more realistic- like an office job. Conformity not only leads us away from our full living potential that God but us on this earth for but also has numerous other constraints. These go all the way from letting the higher up in society win by being able to control us with a simple idea, to actually being sunned…
The three themes of the life course perspective include, relationships, events, and experiences of early life have consequences. To start with the description of these themes we see experiences and that our physical and mental health is closely related to the advantages and disadvantages we had in early childhood. People who begin life with a social advantage generally are better positioned to succeed later in life, and people with adversities early in life are often blocked from opportunities that allow them to have a happy and healthy life leading into their old age. Also researchers have found that childhood experiences such as parental death, parental divorce, child abuse victimization, poverty, and living in an unsafe neighborhood, have…
1. Psychologists consider a phobia to be an irrational fear, meaning it is a fear reaction that is out of proportion to the reality of the danger. This differentiates itself from a normal fear reaction because the apprehension felt towards something alarming is to a real danger.…

Life course perspective is an approach that tries to understand how chronological age, relationships, life transitions, historical time and place, and social change shape lives of people from fetal period to death (Elder et al., 2003). Various life course trajectories increases exposure to advantage and disadvantage throughout our life leading to accumulation of risks and opportunities which impact subsequent life trajectories and health of the person themselves and other people close to them. Therefore, cumulative advantage and disadvantage and linked lives can be two of the important factors that can contribute to the course origins of health (Elder et al., 2003 and Ferraro & Shippee, 2009).…
Today’s society is crawling with copious amounts of individualistic personalities. We have such a broad spectrum of opinions and beliefs because we are so much more wide spread than previous years. People are more out-going, more liberal, more independent, and generally more unreserved and outspoken. Different viewpoints, opinions and beliefs enrich our lives by creating a more colorful and complex world.…
What does it mean to be human? What makes who we are? What drives us? Could it be the desire of becoming better, faster, and stronger, perhaps? All throughout history, humans have been known to have advanced in their respective eras through planning and their own advancements in technology. Technology is one of the many things that people in the 21st century debate about, whether it’s good or bad, or even neutral. Why do so many disagree with the idea of becoming better through the advances in technology? The main the topic of becoming something more, something post-human, revolves around the “luddites” (artisans in the early nineteenth century who protested technology by destroying it) believe we’re “playing God.” What does it even mean to play God? Technology has taken us very far indeed, but we haven’t made anything so uncanny that will surely match God himself. If anything, we’ve been doing exactly what’s in our nature: grow, expand, nurture ourselves, and evolve. We can only do as much as the environment allows us; we only make what we can with what we have. The advances in technology today are just our own way of reaching another step in our evolutionary cycle, and we shall continue to move forward. We shall reach another step in human evolution, whether it’s mentally or physically; we know that we’ll be holding technology’s hand for now and forever more, because as it is, we’ve become dependent of it. Should we fear our future endeavors within the technological age? I’m ready to move up to a new level in my evolution, whether I’m wired in circuitry, a cyborg, or fully mechanical; it’s time to let go of those fears, of those demons holding us back. Our limits are only set by our own standards, our own hands, so if we keep moving forward, then our limit is not what the kind of humans we’re now, but ‘transhumanism.’…

Within each and every individual lies a set of beliefs that help set the foundation and fundamentals of his or her existence. These beliefs are uniquely crafted from one's own experience and personal choices, or established through an others' personal influences or doctrine. No matter the scenario, these beliefs determine an individuals' priorities, justify their actions, help determine what he or she is fond of and aids them in answering some of life's challenging questions. Most importantly these beliefs create a standard guide of living for each and every person. It is these very beliefs that define and constitute a person's worldview; the central system that ones uses to explain life and all its components.
