Worldview Assignment
Part I. What is a Worldview?
A worldview is a set of beliefs about how you view the fundamental aspects of the world. Your worldview can greatly influence everything you do, think, or know.

According to Psalms 51:5, Christians believe that man is a sinner from the moment he is
