Worldview is the fundamental cognitive orientation of an individual or society encompassing the entirety of the individual or society's knowledge and point of view (Wikipedia, 2015). This word is very important in all aspects of life as we express our views to those with different perspectives.

There are five basis which I will expand on in this paper: Origin, Identity, Meaning/Purpose, Morality and Destiny.
