Where did it come from, your Worldview?
How was it shaped? By whom? All by yourself or .....
What were the influences and to what degree?
Family, school, friends, society, or personal experience...
Or textbooks, media, social media, movies, music ....
Or even random chance?

How much credit to yourself as author of your Worldview in spite of all of the above?

If much of the troubles of the world are due to peoples' differences in perceptions of the world, what could be a way out of it?

We won't be as interested in knowing the WHAT of your Worldview as much as the HOW such Worldview came about.

In other words, less about the content of your Worldviews (a potential source of conflict :) but rather attempt to breakdown HOW worldviews get shaped in the first place.
