A new blog to contain answers to prompts |
Since my old blog "Everyday Canvas "  became overfilled, here's a new one. This new blog item will continue answering prompts, the same as the old one. Cool water cascading to low ground
To spread good will and hope all around.  |
| Prompt: Worldview A worldview is a person's or society's fundamental way of thinking about the world, including their knowledge, culture, and point of view. Do you ever challenge your own worldview or any other views? And have you ever replaced them? -------- Have I ever replaced my worldview! Several times and in big ways, too. Especially with all the so-called revolutions taking place all the time and changes in my personal life and especially because of losing loved ones. Still mostly, my worldview is getting renewed all the time due to not being able to keep up with the all the new ways that seem to change in an instant, without any warning. For example, this morning, I went to the bank and the bank was closed, and even its ATM was closed. It isn't even a bank holiday, today. I used to like this bank because it is close by. Now, I think banks should have the courtesy to at least put in their online pages if a certain branch would be closed aside from their regular holiday closures. I mean this may be something temporary or not, but gone are the days when businesses were more customer-friendly. Today the lens through which I view reality about this bank and its place in my life has changed big time. Worldview is exactly that, the lens through which we view reality and ideas about life, morality, human nature, spirituality and everyone's place in the world. Personal experiences play a big role and other beliefs and education help, too. Add to all this the changes in media and technology that is always jumping up suddenly, my worldview keeps going into revision after revision. On the plus side, exposure to new ideas and disciplines, travel, reading, and being curious other perspectives can be beneficial for personal growth and open-mindedness. Yes, there may be many benefits that can come with good and timely changes. I find, however, the older one gets, the more resistant is one to change. In my case, no matter how I strive to keep up with the changes, I am falling behind. And if worldview is related to social identity, oldies like me have something to worry about, because it seems, not only in my case, but in the case of many other people close to my age, our views of personal competence are going down the drain in a big way--partly due to technology and partly due to how we treat one another--together with the ways we view this world. |
