Worldview

We all have a worldview. Each one is different. Some are similar because of culture and beliefs. Worldview is how we see the world around us.

Worldview is how we define:
RIGHT and WRONG
TRUTH and LIES
HATE and LOVE
BEAUTY and UGLINESS

Some say that worldview is the pair of glasses through which we see reality. If that is the case then I propose that a Biblical Worldview is taking off the glasses and seeing the world with 20/20 vision.

Developing a Biblical Worldview is a process. Its not magical.

I will be writing about developing a Biblical Worldview over the next few posts.

The thing is, I didn't pay enough attention to really know.  I am sorry. I know I didn't do a good job. I am sure I was never a good or safe friend. 

The Colonial Gaze in Film: re-wathching Roland Joffé's "The Mission"

I thought I was so smart coming up with this idea after learning about the male gaze several years ago. Let us refresh our minds and re-examine the wiki defining "In  feminist theory , the  male gaze  is the act of depicting  women  and the  world , in the  visual arts  and in  literature , from a masculine, heterosexual perspective that presents and  represents  women as  sexual objects  for the pleasure of the  heterosexual   male  viewer." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Male_gaze. Last accessed July 22, 2021). There is an abundance of quality explanations and explorations on this topic from a variety of points of academic rigour. I personally will be using Mollie Bowman as a guide and model and inspiration. I need direction. Of course I will not be the first one to apply this technique to the ideas of a colonial gaze. This will be the first time that I have re-watched a film while critically reflect...
