This session explores the reality that worldviews result from being human. All worldviews fall under one of three major categories: Naturalism, Transcendentalism, and Theism. Each will be explained, showing comparisons and contrasts. The goal of this workshop is that the student will be able to recognize the different worldviews present in philosophies, religions, popular culture, literature, and entertainment.
