Culture plays a large role in an individual’s view of the world.Each culture has a unique taste and
blend of music, language, and customs.Experiencing two completely different cultures has been both
eye opening and intriguing.The Whitworth in China experience has provided me with a broader view of
the world and an understanding of a different perspective through an Eastern lens.I have been able to
understand how my worldview impacts how I interact with others, particularly through ethics and
epistemology, policies,Gilkey’sShantung Compound,and my own personal journey with Whitworth in
China program. In order to understand the worldview of an individual it is important to know and
understand the various aspects it includes, such as Epistemology, Metaphysics, and Ethics.The Christian
environment that I have been raised in has influenced my beliefs and decisions; therefore my ethics are
based upon the Divine Command Theory (DCT).According to Wyma DCT “bases right and wrong, good
and evil, upon God’s revealed commands” (Wyma 36).This form of ethics provides a higher authority
upon which to rely and an objective source of moral right and wrong.Even though I have grown up with a
Christian background, I have also come to understand that one’s own worldview must ultimately be
based on an individual’s own choice. My epistemological viewpoints rest primarily on empiricism and
authoritarianism. Through experience and trusted authorities I have come to terms with how I view the
world. For me, faith and reason are interconnected. I do not believe that following a worldview just

based on faith is wise, but neither do I believe that one can fully know and understand by reason alone
either. I believe that it is important to have a basis for why I believe what I believe, but also understand
that it takes a leap of faith as well to believe in something bigger than one’s own self. I find it

mistakes and accomplishments. Some of the most valuable lessons I have learned are from personal

What is Amazon?
Amazon better known as Amazon.com is globally recognized as the largest e-commerce platform
and a leading provider of cloud services. Amazon wasn’t always known for their e-commerce platform,
according to Business insider “
When Amazon was founded on July 5, 1994, as a website that only sold
books, founder Jeff Bezos had a vision for the company's explosive growth and ecommerce domination
(Hartmans, 2021). Over time, Amazon adopted a sales approach where it acts as the intermediary
between the company and the buyer. This approach allows Amazon to offer a wide range of products,
including clothing, beauty products, gourmet food, jewelry, books, movies, electronics, pet supplies,
furniture, toys, garden supplies, and household items, among others. Through this method, customers
have access to an extensive selection of merchandise and stock.
After implementing this sales strategy, Amazon transformed into the renowned and adored
business it is today. Amazon places great importance on individuals and teams embodying the Amazon
Leadership Principles in their everyday endeavors. These principles not only dictate Amazon's business
practices and guide its leaders, but also underscore the significance of prioritizing the customer in every
decision-making process. By embracing our unique Amazon culture, which is molded by these
Leadership Principles, we wholeheartedly strive to fulfill our mission of becoming the most customer-
centric company on Earth, while also aspiring to be the top employer and ensuring a secure working
environment.
Main Leadership Styles and Theories
Amazon, being one of the most prominent and accomplished corporations globally, owes a
significant portion of its triumph to its 14 guiding principles of leadership. These principles serve as a
blueprint for Amazon's business operations, leadership strategies, and unwavering commitment to
prioritizing the customer in every decision-making process. At the heart of Amazon's leadership lies four

key principles: giving utmost importance to customer satisfaction over competition, nurturing a culture
