¶ … Worldviews
A comprehensive framework of one's basic beliefs about things and their relationships, a worldview addresses a stance that one believes is critical and fundamental about the world (Downers, 2008)
According to Phillips (2008) a worldview is an explanation and interpretation of the world and it involves application of this view of life, in simple terms worldview is a view of the world and a view for the world.
Why am I living?
According to Kennedy (2010) God placed a living soul into a lifeless human body; this tells us that man is more than the offspring of primeval animals. Man is created with unique and vast higher nature inside the mortal is something immortal. God introduced a form of life into the human organism which is soul. Soul is eternal, does not breath air, drink water or consume food it is sustained entirely by the design and will of God and will eventually migrate either into the eternal presences of God, or be eternally separated from him because of sinful acts that humans engage in.
Another argument is that since we are creatures of God that is God engineered material substance that would accurately display his very own intellect and abilities therefore it is by his miraculous methods that we are living.
What is the cause of my existence and what of everyone existence?
We are entirely responsible for not only what we are but also what we will be. For example if we look at ourselves and find that we are unhappy or we are in situations which restrict us then we have ourselves to blame. Man intrinsically has no nature. That is, man found he in this world not of his own making this therefore portrays that our existence precedes our...
(Sartre, 2009).
Mainstream Christianity view that essence precedes existence since man is fully subject to Gods plans.
Why do we exist?
This is a reflective question that has pondered for quite number of years. Some who have attempted to answer make unsubstantial claim that we exist because of random occurrences and that there is no need to life.
The question of existence can be explained through the handbook granted to us by our creator. From the writing of Apostle Paul, 'For by him all things were created; things in heaven on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or powers or rulers or authorities all this things were created by him and for him' (Colossians 1:16) this explains our origins and extent reason for our existence. We exist because God created us as his objects of his love. God is love; this is its part of nature, his character and essence of his being. God put us on this earth so as to know him and love him.
Why is there division of good and evil within me?
Man has been divided into matter (evil) and mind (good).The most dangerous dualism for the Christians is to think that some aspects of life are spiritual while others classified as secular. If we think that there are secular aspects we might include sacred things such as; baptism, offerings, and Christian education.
The acceptance of Christ in every aspect of life is pointed out throughout the scriptures. "Whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God" (1corinthians 10:31) "what you do in the actions, do all in the name of the lord Jesus" (Colossians 3:17) this urge for official representation of Christ. In Romans 12:2 states, "Do not conform any…

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
Worldviews: 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
It outlines those programs and benefits to be offered on campuses to help service international students more effectively. Japanese students are here identified. Since they speak English as second language, they have more stress, requiring more time to read their textbooks, receiving the abuse from students that are enrolled with them in classes or who are being taught by them when they serve as graduate assistants.

Healthcare Philosophies of Christians and Shinto Followers Every culture has its own worldview, and its own approach to the health of its people. The Christian philosophy when it comes to healthcare is quite different than the approach that believers in the Shinto faith take. This paper points to the worldviews of each of these faiths, and it uses the available literature to delve deeply into those worldviews and the differences /
Healthcare Philosophies of Christians and Shinto Followers Christianity approaches healthcare from a rather different perspective as compared to Shintoism. The contemporary Western worldview is generally termed 'dualism', which incorporates the idea that evil and good are eternally and continuously locked in combat.
