Insights from Considering orldviews

Creswell (2014) discusses four philosophical worldviews: post-positivism, constructivism, transformative, and pragmatism that can be applied to the proposed topic for this research is a comparison of brand loyalty among young people in the United States and Kenya. Each perspective carries different ramifications for studying the analysis of brand loyalty amongst the intended demographics. hile many areas in Kenya are modernized and have incorporated estern views and a level of modernity, others have not. Therefore, there may also be evidence of competing worldviews in the same population sample or demographic within a country.

The worldview of a people, that is, the way they think of themselves, their problems, others and their material environment, that fundamentally determine their level of scientific, technological and industrial progress is central to understanding a population and is at least partially generated by a social phenomenon (Inokoba, Adebowale, & Perepreghabofa, 2010). To truly understand…...

The view that we should forgive our enemies and those who hurt us, had a profound impact on me. There were a lot of people in my life who caused inexplicable pain and as a result of that pain; I had a lot of anger and hatred in my life. Jesus taught that we should forgive our enemies. This is one of the hardest things you can be asked to do (Hieronymi, 2001). Some people try to destroy their enemies and opt for revenge. Jesus offers restoration of relationships instead of revenge. A lot of the hurt and pain in the world could be healed if hurt people learnt to seek restoration instead of revenge. When we hold on to hostility, pain and anger we are only damaging ourselves and preventing the healing process from beginning. Jesus not only advocated forgiveness but also that we do good to those who…...

orldviews: Then and Now
Having a worldview is something that has always been with society, but that has not been studied and focused on in such detail until recently. The original term came from German, as there was really no word for it in English. Now, it has a much more commonplace meaning, and is used more frequently to provide insight into how a person sees the world around him or her.

A worldview is comprised of a number of different things, but it most notably begins with language.

The language the individual first learns will shape his or her view of the world, simply because there are only so many words and phrases that can be used for various things. ithout other phrases or words that can be used -- and that would be in another language -- a person is limited to particular types of phrases in how he or she…...

Worldview on the Book Of omans 1-8
Setting out to write the Book of omans, Paul was convicted of some issues in ome and the world at large that needed to be addressed and put to light. As he starts the book, Paul indicates that he has all along longed to visit ome and talk to the Gentiles there as he has done with gentiles from other regions, but somehow he has been stopped continuously. This is an indication that there ere pressing issues that Paul would have loved to go alone and address in the oman church at the time and make straight. It is these challenges that will form the central discussion in this worldview and will be categorized as 1). Natural world, 2) Human Identity, 3) Human relationship and 4) Culture.

Natural world

In the very first chapter, Paul depicts ome as a place where there abounds Godlessness and a…...

The application of the worldviews to the proposed research questions

1. What specific risks do companies face from insider threats in cloud computing situations?

The worldview which is relevant when tackling this research question is pragmatism. Pragmatism is a special worldview that arises out of situations (such as insider threats),actions as well as consequences (risks) (Cresswell,2008,p.10). Instead of putting all the focus on the methods, the researchers should place emphasis on the research problems and then employ all the available approaches in understanding the problem (risks associated with insider threats in cloud computing situations).

2. How can costs be effectively associated with risks?

The worldview which can best be applied to this kind of research question is Postpositivism. Creswell noted that postpositivism is a world view which holds a rather deterministic philosophy in which various causes are the probably determinants of the outcomes or effects.

The problems that are studied using a postpositivistic view are…...

worldview? A worldview gives an account off the nature of reality, addressing whether this world is the only one, and the moral and historical status of this world (an answer to "Where are we"). A worldview also provides diagnoses of the problems experienced by human beings ("Why are we suffering?"). Finally, a worldview outlines a prescription for alleviating these problems ("What is the remedy?") (Jensen, L.A. (1997), 326). A worldview is like a set of lenses which taint our vision or alter the way we perceive the world around us. Our worldview is formed by our education, our upbringing, the culture we live in, the books we read, the media and movies we absorb, etc. (Wayne, p. 1).

Worldview of people in many cultures [...] political functions in human societies. Anthropologists have long noted that beliefs about the supernatural (and organizations, rituals, and behavior that derive from them) are central to the worldview of people in most cultures.
WORLDVIEW

How people view the world around them is an integral part of society and culture. Many cultures have deep and abiding spiritual beliefs in the supernatural, and organize their rituals and much of their everyday behavior around these strong beliefs. For example, Native American culture is deeply rooted in the spiritual rituals which surround everyday actions in their lives, from coming into adulthood to growing crops and annual rainfall. Thus, many Native American rituals are incredibly important to their culture, and to their perceived welfare. Politically, until the Native American peoples were uprooted from their normal lives, and resettled on reservations, their system for government and culture was centered on…...

worldview and adjustments to the individual problem statement.
I have been astonished to discover that many more college students have problems with financial literacy than I originally thought existent. I, somehow, thought that college students were savvier with their money and more financially erudite.

Changes that I may make to the individual problem statement are to be more specific regarding the schools and colleges surveyed. I would, for instance, be interested in assessing whether students from more privileged socio-economic backgrounds would show greater financial literacy than those from economically deprived backgrounds. On the one hand, students from wealthier origin may have more experience with money matters. On the other hand, students from deprived backgrounds may need to possess knowledge of financial literacy more than those from wealthier backgrounds, especially since some of the former may need to fend for themselves from very young ages as well as start their own business.…...

How hard it was to scrub a floor with elbow grease, how it was her chore as a child to wash the dishes and help her mother hang out the laundry with clothespins. Do children still have chores, she wondered? Her children had a maid service that came in to their homes, more often than not, to take care of such basic, seemingly trivial duties. They had well-stocked refrigerators and pantries with great boxes bought from Costco and new and shiny appliances.
Today, parents and children are seldom at home together. They are usually working and ferrying their children off to various afterschool activities like soccer and gymnastics. Children are not supposed to play in the streets, or walk to school. Dinner is takeout, often eaten on the run in the back of a large SUV. She didn't understand how people could have so many more modern conveniences to make…...

worldview is a "set of presuppositions (assumptions which may be true, partially true or entirely false)," ("Four Major Worldviews," n.d.). The presuppositions that form our personal worldview have a strong bearing on our ongoing attitudes, behaviors, goals, and expectations. Our worldview might change throughout the course of our lives, due to exposure to new ideas, new people, or new ways of looking at the world. Naturally, religious upbringing and culture have a major influence on worldview development.
The seven major questions that help identify worldview and gain better understanding of self and others pertain to issues like prime reality and belief in deity, life after death, and ethics. Although there are potentially infinite worldviews depending on one's core beliefs and answers to major epistemological questions, pluralism, scientism, and postmodernism are some of the prevalent structures guiding contemporary worldviews.

Pluralism acknowledges the great diversity of human experiences and cultures, but disavows any…...

For those of us with strong religious beliefs and values, one of the most important elements of our worldview is that it permits us to maintain and pass along our most crucial core values.
What role do assumptions have in a personal worldview?

Assumptions are, in many respects, the core of worldviews. That is because by the time a person is old enough to have conscious beliefs and values and ideas about significant issues, he or she has already absorbed virtually every part of his or her worldview from others. Certain aspects of a person's worldview are functions of his or her society; other aspects are functions of experiences and messages absorbed within the family of origin; and still others reflect culture and other group identities. By definition, any foundational ideas that precede conscious thought or deliberation are initial assumptions. In principle, the mature and intelligent and educated adult strives to…...

Analysis and Response to Chuck Colson's "Any Ol' orld View on't Do"

The problem that the author addresses in this brief essay is the lack of true applications of Christian principles in daily life and in basic worldviews. hile Christians are often good at quoting the Bible and are generally aware of the laws and expectations of their faith, Colson asserts that by and large American Christians do not actually have views of morality, values, and behavior that are consistent with or even based on Biblical teachings. Failing to properly live and believe as Christians renders the faith almost empty, according to Colson, and so the truly fundamental problem that is identified is that a lack of truly living as Christians is eroding the significance and meaning of Christianity in America and is also leaving American Christians devoid of the full benefit and true faith of their religion.

After defining the problem,…...

Worldview
A framework that an individual uses to view reality and which helps the individual to make sense of life, as well as the world around, is described as a worldview.

According to David Noebel, author of Understanding the Times, "[It's] any ideology, philosophy, theology, movement or religion that provides an overarching approach to understanding God, the world and man's relations to God and the world," (Ministry, 2016).

For most Christians, the Word of God is the basis of worldview. The basis of such worldview assumes that whatever is said in the Bible is true and the view of the world is directed as described in the Bible (Durlak, 2008)

Others hold worldview as a set of beliefs that are used for obtaining an understanding of the world. Critics say that everyone has a worldview and which could be different from one another. People use their own set of principles that help an individual…...

Hinduism and Christian Worldview:
A worldview can be described as a person's interpretation or perspective of the world around himself or herself. While this perspective or interpretation is developed over time, it's usually influenced by various factors including personality and the environment. However, this concept has several varying definitions because it includes a variety of emotions, meaning, and probable outcomes. In some cases, a worldview is described as the unifying outlook with which thoughts regarding different aspects in life are organized. This implies that a worldview is a person's or group's philosophy about life.

iblical/Christian Worldview:

Since an individual's worldview is developed over time and influenced by what a person learns and experiences, Christianity and Hinduism are some of the major religions with different worldviews. Christianity is a religion whose question of origin is based on the belief that humans were created by the one and only mighty God (Genesis 1:27). This perspective…...

Personal Worldview
Every day, when we watch the news or read a newspaper article, countless stories of violence, crime, wars, and disasters confront us. Historically, literacy is at an all-time high, yet education does not appear to encourage goodness in the world. Because of this, my belief is that it is evident that the greatest contribution a person can make to the world is living their life as Jesus did. There are several reasons for this. For example, when an individual models the behavior of Jesus Christ, it promotes peace on earth, success in life, and a positive impact on humanity. Believers, as well as many non-believers, hold Jesus Christ in high regard and appreciate and value the principles by which He lived His life. Even those who are not Christian or who do not believe Christ was the Messiah can see how the teachings He provided can encourage people to…...

First, we want to reassure you that being confused about nursing worldviews puts you in some good company.  Many nurse practitioners find that the approach that place worldviews at the beginning of nursing inquiry may actually be hampering the development of nursing scholarship and keeping the profession from evolving as quickly and as efficiently as it should.  In addition, the material can become very confusing because different authors use the words paradigm and worldview interchangeably, though they distinguish them from metaparadigms.

Globalization is an interesting topic because the term means different things to different people.  Globalization specifically refers to the interactions and integration of the people of the world.  There are various types of globalization, with the three main types being economic, political, and cultural.  Of course, these three types of globalization rarely, if ever, occur in isolation.  Exposure to other people, ways of life, and worldviews leads to changes in various sectors.  It is no wonder, then, that so many people find the idea of globalization to be very threatening.  In fact,....
