Introducing the Worldviews: We had a brief introduction to this, our topic this year
- Ideas have consequences:
- - What you values effects the ideas you believe.
- - These ideas affect what you do, say, feel, and think.
- - These ideas determine how you see, understand, and respond to the world.
- A worldview...
- - ... is your most basic ideas (beliefs & values) that shape your view of & for the world.
- - ... tries to answer life's big questions (God, man, the universe, truth, values, etc...).
- - ... is gained through your culture & also actively affects your culture.
- - ... contains these 10 area of thought:
- - - Theology: Is there a God? How can we know (if there is & who God is)?
- - - Philosophy: What is truth? How do we know it?
- - - Ethics: How should we behave? Why?
- - - Biology: What is the origin and order of life?
- - - Psychology: What is the human internal nature?
- - - Sociology: What makes a healthy society?
- - - Law: What is the basis law?
- - - Politics: What is the purpose of government?
- - - Economics: How should we use our resources?
- - - History: What is the reason and meaning of what has happened (and what will happen)?

A World of Ideas: Student Workbook, Pages 6-7
- How do movies try to teach us things?
- - George Lucas said, “I’ve always tried to be aware of what I say in my films because all of us who make motion pictures are teachers, teachers with very loud voices”
- - In the last 3 movies that you’ve seen, what are some of the ideas/values that they have ‘taught?’
- How have you seen this quote as true in your life?
- - “Often people get their beliefs the same way they catch colds—by being around other people! And the more we are around other people, the more their beliefs influence us and become our own.”
- Volunteer to read: “What is a Worldview?”
- A worldview is like…
- - Trees: Ideas are like branches, they are interconnected, w/a root system that feeds them all
- - - Your theological views will actually feed all other parts of your worldview (see the illustration below)
- - Eyeglasses: It effects everything you see and brings it into focus for you. If it's not the right prescription, though, everything looks off!
- - A Map: It helps you understand where you are and how to get where you want to go.
- - A Puzzle Box Top: It shows us where all of life’s little pieces go.
- Go back to page 5 in your Study Packet and add two new pictures to help further describe what a worldview is.
