What determines an individual's worldview? After all, out of all of the people here, there are a variety of worldviews here, but a question on the dominant trait creating these interpersonal differences is one that still must be determined. Is it something genetic? Is it something taught at an early age? Is it a result of experiences? Is it an arbitrary impulse of the will? Is a person's position determined by rational assent? Is it a result of expected personal gain? How about the views of close-relations?
To what extent are each of these views true? To what extent are they false? Does pie taste good?
Pie does taste good, but it depends on how it's done.
well, I tend to relate psychology as perhaps the most dominant factor for an individual's worldview, which would be that of what they have been thaught since early childhood to play a basic role as well as their interpersonal experience and their environment, in fact, I believe experience seem to play a major role on this within psychology, as with that is what we learn, and given that what we gain through our experiences have a level of psychological impact on us, which would eventually shape, grow or change our personal views, which would be in a great degree dependent on it.
But, I think genetic and biological factors must have their rol as well, which I believe would be the personality, the capability of cognition, the level of social intelligence, logic, theory of mind, left-brain vs right-brain, though not sure if that's a myth or not, but the idea of "left-brain" thinking vs "right-brain" thinking seems to be the case no matter where exactly that comes from, though must of these seem to be quite tricky to determine wether they are fully physical or learned I suppose.
How exactly is the nature vs nurture thing on this, not quite sure.
