VIDEOS TO POTENTIALLY HELP YOU.... WORLD VIEW....
What is Culture and Cultural World view?

Worldview is the set of fundamental beliefs about reality that ground and influence all one's perceiving, thinking, knowing, and doing. The elements of a person’s worldview include beliefs about knowledge, the origins and nature of the universe, the existence and nature of God, the purpose of humankind, as well as what is good and bad, and what is right and wrong.1

Culture is the set of distinctive spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional features of society or a social group that encompasses not only art and literature, but lifestyles, ways of living together, value systems, traditions and beliefs.2 For an individual, this may be reflected in his or her clothing, food, language, and belief system, as well as in other ways.
