Reflective Essay On Worldview

1260 Words6 Pages

A worldview is how a person perceives their relationship to the world and how the world works. It is very closely linked with a person 's culture. A person 's worldview relates to time, type of human activity, social relations and nature. Perceptual biases are based on our worldview which can affect how we see people both as an interviewer and someone being interviewed. This is why worldview is so important to understand. It is important to self-analyze your own worldview to see what the basis of biases are and how you can work with your worldview to push towards the success and others. The first aspect of worldview is time; whether you are shaped by the past, present, or future. This tier is something very important to me. I am a firm …show more content…

I am a very individualistic value centered person. At first when you meet me it seems like I am collaborative and interpersonal, however, the more you get to know me you will realize how individualistic I am. I don 't mind being alone, in fact, I prefer it. I prefer to work by myself for projects, studying and work. I am very independent, and I don 't like to lean on others for help. This doesn 't mean that I don 't like people or that I am not social however. Instead, I just enjoy the solitude of being by myself. This feeling has increased since coming to college.

  • Perspective Of Night By Elie Wiesel

    562 Words  | 3 Pages

    Most commonly known for writing the award winning book Night, Elie Wiesel was a Jewish writer, professor, political activist, and Holocaust survivor. Night is about Wiesel's time in Auschwitz and Burgenbelsen, his struggle to survive and to retain his belief in God. Wiesel first went to Auschwitz in 1944, was liberated in 1945, but he didn’t start writing Night until 1959. This time gap between his release and his writing, which allowed Wiesel to gain perspective, gives Night the introspective tone that makes the story of Wiesel’s time in concentration camps so captivating. Perspective is subjective.
