Personal Worldview Inventory
Shared by cultures, composed of assumptions, categories and values that provide a lens to view the world is what is known as “world view”. Due to diverse perspectives, every person’s way of viewing the world is unique. Any person’s world view is heavily influenced by spirituality. The concepts which had been yielded by scientism and postmodernism had always been hindered due to spiritual means followed by the patients and doctors in domains of healthcare.
Philosophical Concepts and Spirituality
The connection of a person to others and life is what many consider “Spirituality”. It is a connection between souls and spirits. Existing in various forms spirituality can decrease morality, increase coping skills and increase recovery at times.
Due to concepts of “postmodernism” and “scientism”, spirituality has been excluded from healthcare and nursing. “Scientism” is the mere concept that through science if one doesn’t obtain knowledge than it is not real. Similar to relativism is “postmodernism”. It rejects all claims of absolute knowledge, role of reason, and rationality in science (Taylor, 2014). Truth is in accordance to perception is what is stated by postmodernism.
Spiritualism has been subdued by these concepts because no room has been left for pluralism and the acceptance of diversity in beliefs. However “scientism” and “postmodernism” fail to capture the essence of human life because they lack ethical reasoning.
What is prime reality?
God is what “prime reality” is. Albeit the fact that human lives are changing, being made easier and life spans are increasing due to advancement in human technology, God is still the “Creator” and “Controller” of everything. Every life event takes place upon Gods consent, although people might credit the numerous resources and their fate for the blessings and curse they have in their life. The faith that every is in the hands of God is growing less common day by day as humans are advancing in science, arts and media. They think that they can bend life and fate the way they want to.
What is the nature of the world around you?
The perspective of an individual determines the nature of the world around us. Some people think they have a peaceful life, some think of it as chaotic while others refer to it as isolated.

What is a human being?
This questions has many possible answers. A human being is the creation of God, with Gods essence present in it. Though God is the creator of a human but human itself is the creator of many things. Ruling the earth by a weapon, its mind, a human being is the most powerful being on earth. By abusing the power of mind, many wars have been waged by humans. A human is unpredictable, they can go from being kind and gentle to the most cruel and ruthless being ever in existence. A human is a machine with a limited life span and ability to reproduce. It is a predator which dwells on power and an animal which does anything for its survival.
What happens to a person at death?
A person is transferred from one realm to another after death. They are not considered dead, only their soul leaves the body and goes to another world unknown to man. The person’s temporary voyage at earth ends and an eternal life starts to reap the fruit of good deeds and also a person is held accountable for their sins. (Echert, 2017). Material things are all left behind on earth, the only possession a person is allowed to take with him is his deeds which help pursue a peaceful eternal life. However, when a person departs from earth after death, loved ones, wealth everything else is left behind and the person moves on to another world. Death is inevitable, every person will die someday whether they want to or not.
