“Worldviews express the fundamental nature of a particular culture—how it operates and constructs perceptions and relationships.
They provide an all-embracing assemblage of the world around us, including the greater cosmos, and how the world came into being.
Worldviews influence who we are, how we behave, our dreams, imaginings, and our relationship to the very web of life.
A worldview is a composition of principles, narratives, codes of conduct, and foundational assumptions about reality, which inform our scientific discourse, cultural norms, political and social ideologies, and all aspects of our lived experiences.”
“Some of the most damaging and pervasive worldviews are human dominion over nature, separation from a living Earth, and structural patriarchy and white supremacy.”

And WorldviewU:
“A worldview is a set of beliefs. And beliefs have consequences. Bad beliefs can have disastrous consequences, while good beliefs can lead to positive outcomes for individuals, societies and entire nations.
Your worldview — your personal set of beliefs — is expressed in your outlook on life and in how you speak and act. Basically, your life expresses your worldview. The “Worldview Tree” below illustrates this. Your worldview lies under the surface because it is fully known only by you. However, your worldview gets expressed outwardly by the way you live – by what you say and what you do. Other people can get glimpses of your worldview by how you express yourself.
Your worldview affects your life here on Earth, along with your eternal destiny. Therefore, the worldview you embrace is vitally important, in this life and the life to come.
By exploring worldviews, it is hoped that you will think about your own worldview and why you hold to it. In the process, your beliefs may be solidified, or you may be challenged to consider a different worldview.”
