A worldview is an individual's or society's basic cognitive orientation, containing all of the individual's or society's experiences and issues of view. Natural philosophy, foundational, existential, normative postulates, themes, beliefs, feelings, and ethics are all examples of worldviews. A worldview is
a collection of thoughts about fundamental aspects of reality that underpin and affect everything you see, think, know, and do. Individuals' worldviews are their theory, philosophy of existence, mentality, perspective, recipe for life, belief, faith, or religion. According to the Western worldview, humans are superior to all other living and non-living entities in the universe. A scientific worldview is made up entirely of falsifiable elements. This worldview conforms to the highest degree of objectivity but is extremely limited in usefulness since it is focused solely on theories thats checked by empirical observation. Monotheistic and non-monotheistic religious worldviews are the two most common groups. God is the actual truth for monotheists.
There are several different types of monotheisms, but the idea of God usually includes the following: God is ontologically independent, which means that his life is unaffected by everything. "The mythical worldview propagated a mentality of war and conquest, most notably through European colonialism." (Elpel) All, including spells, are thought of differently by witches and wizards than by us. Wizard physics and weaknesses are second nature to witches and wizards. It is the most critical factor. In reality, it's an entirely different worldview. Who you put first, humans or God, is the difference between the worldviews. Our ways of achieving our goals and resolving disagreements can build or intensify conflict because our cultures give us different ideas about identity and meaning in life. As fundamental differences distinguish groups of individuals, worldviews can be valuable tools for understanding and analyzing conflicts.
