My personal worldview is based on my personal philosophy that has developed through experience, engagement with others, education, cultural beliefs and practices, and religious beliefs. I have grown up in a family and a culture that stresses the need to be decent and do what is right for others and self. My family and friends have specific expectations based on my age, education, and gender, besides those I set for myself that dictate my worldview. For instance, my parents taught me to treat people better and remain consistent in my values and attitudes regardless of how those around me behave or act. These values have grown in me consciously because I can appreciate their benefits and see their needs over time. My parents also expect me to respect and show empathy to other people. These principles have guided and informed my relationship with others, and I have grown to have a conscious mind because I do not treat people like they treat me; rather, I treat people with respect and as decent human beings. Through experience, I have learned to take time before making decisions and consider all perspectives and factors, which has been integral in my problem-solving processes. These principles have helped me build relationships with others, interact with colleagues and patients, make the right decisions, and live with a conscious mind. (Topic 7 DQ 1)
The two core principles that influence my worldview are respect and empathy. I treat the principles of respect for persons seriously in every situation because I understand I can only engage meaningfully with others when I extend respect. I try my best to be respectful even when the other party is disrespectful, and in most situations, I solve conflict through respect for others. Empathy is needed to understand others and their needs. Being in a leadership position requires empathy. You can only understand and treat others right when you share in their experiences. I am open-minded to ideas and perspectives, which is critical in making comprehensive and inclusive decisions. Being open-minded allows me to understand patients and engage with people from different backgrounds and experiences, which is vital in offering patient-centered and holistic care. Generally, I do not sustain my principles to get credit from others, but I cannot ignore when people say I am a good person and would like to share their experiences with me because they believe I can understand them.
