How do You View the World?

A world view is a set of presuppositions
(assumptions which may be true, partially true
or entirely false)
which we hold (consciously or subconsciously, consistently or inconsistently)
about the basic make-up of our world.

Everyone holds their own worldview. The answers you have to the following questions helps you determine what worldview you hold:

1. What is prime reality - the really real?
   
2. What is the nature of external reality, that is, the world around us?
   
3. What is a human being?
   
4. What happens to a person at death?
   
5. Why is it possible to know anything at all?
   
6. How do we know what is right and wrong?
   
7. What is the meaning of human history?
   

Whatever answers we give to such questions will obviously have a big effect on such matters as our goals in life - how we make decisions; the way we treat other people; the way we value ourselves; our attitude to material possessions; the way we face death; what we think is wrong with the world and how we are going to put it right; how we relate to human need, to family structure, to those outside our own community, to human rights, or to government. Though recognising that what we say we believe and how we behave do not always match up, our actions often point clearly to what we really believe.

If you want a clearer understanding of what your worldview is, take this test. It's very interesting!
