Understanding worldviews will allow you many different viewpoints. Having many viewpoints will allow you to compare and contrast the pros and cons of each, giving you insight to develop your own thoughts. Philosophy is the foundations of all knowledge. It allows us to bring light to questions posed by ourselves and others deepening our understanding of the world around us. There so many cultures and different beliefs and by gaining knowledge of these we are allowed a greater understanding of the world around us. We develop an unconscious attitude on life through questions we ask and gain answers to from a very young age. As parents we are largely responsible for the way our children’s belief system develops. Below I chose these questions because my children asked them at the approximate age above.
- Why is grandmother sleeping?
I felt my children were to young to understand of death so i softened it to telling them she was asleep. I felt it gave them more peace and removed the thought of pain associated with death.
- Will she wake up?
When this was asked i explained that she would not that this would be the last time we saw her and they needed to kiss her good bye, because she was tired and it was time for her to go home.
- is this where she will live now?
I explained to my children that she was only resting here, but that is where we would visit her when she was missed.
- Why does she have to sleep here?
I explained she was only there till it was time for God to call us all home, that heaven was her home now, and that she would sleep until that time came and we could see her again.
I feel that my children understood better in simpler terms at this age. They did not quiet understand but knew that one day they would see her again, but that it would be a very long time before they did.

God is Sovereign and good, so all that comes from God is good. We were created in his image, meaning that we have characteristics from him in which to me means we are all created good. God also gave us the ability of choice a choice to follow what is good and pure or to not. Within theses choices that are made even in the beginning with Adam and Eve where the fall of human purity began there a ripple of cause and effects directly streaming from our actions as well as theirs. Their choice defaced the image of God. God is all knowing and present everywhere so before this happened, he knew it would occur. The punishment for their sin was death and separated them from Gods holiness. Ethics is transandent and based on the characteristics of God, and God being a being which is all knowing, present everywhere and the creator of all things is known for goodness.
We know right from wrong in the Christian theist perspective that god will speak to you and show you the right path because his spirit is within us all. Many people will argue that it’s your conscience, and yes I do believe that to be so, however God is our conscience because we were made in his image, and consist of all that he is.
