1142 Words5 Pages

What is a worldview? A worldview is some one’s prospective on life. Worldviews are based on someone’s actions, what they believe in, and what they think. In this essay I will be explaining the way I perceive and comprehend specific events that developed my worldview. I will also be comparing the worldviews of the characters in the movie “The Hiding Place” along with my own worldviews.
Firstly, I want to talk about Ten Boom family’s worldview in the movie The hiding place. The Hiding place is about a religious family who is stuck in the Nazi controlled part of Holland. The Boom family had a strong religious/ biblical worldview. The Boom family always included God in everyway possible. Corrie ten Boom was a very dedicated woman. She spent much …show more content…

Casper had such a strict religious conscious, that when he was in line with the Jews, he decided to put on one of their yellow stars, in my opinion to symbolize that everyone’s the same. Another person that had such a big impact in this movie was Betsie ten Boom. Betsie was the sister of Corrie, and she played a major role in hiding the Jews from the Nazis. The ten Boom family always talked about how their doors will be open for who ever god sends. Jews began to hear about what the ten Boom family was offering, and began to move in one by one. Even though Jews kept finding their way to the ten Boom household, they were still greeted warmly and all got an opportunity hide there. This was true because the family believed that god was sending those Jews to their home for love and protection. I thought it was courageous how the ten Boom family could put their life in jeopardy, by rescuing as many Jews as they could. If they didn't have such a religious worldview, they could have just turned down those people and lived a safer life with no risk. However, God had inspired them to help these innocent people who came knocking on their door asking for

    Not only that, but the Jews were also forced to wear a star to show their separation from the rest of society. Plus, when the Jews were forced into ghettos, they were so far alienated that they believed that living in these horrible living conditions was a good thing. (Wiesel 10-11). Similarly, the alienation of specific groups of people in the Cambodian genocide was extremely harsh. Pol Pot, a leader in the Cambodian genocide that is similar to Hitler in the Holocaust, filled the people with hate of those “tainted with non-Khmer traits,” such as having an education, speaking a different tongue, or having a minority background (Bergin 33-34).

Even though Beah had to talk about what he went through and relive it, as did the other people he worked with, they all stated that “our faces and eyes glittered with hope and promise of happiness. It seemed we were transforming our sufferings as we talked about ways to solve their causes and let them be known to the world” (198).

    The most surprising world view I discovered in the book, The Transforming Vision, by Walsh and Middleton was the ability for a follower of Christ to be open-minded toward other cultures that are different in their beliefs, practices, and values. The reading has taught me not to be so one-sided on issues, but to listen to others who have a different perspective than I do. We all come from different backgrounds and not everyone shares the same values. The book gives examples of how each culture practices their traditions and customs. For example, the Japanese value the trait of loyalty.
