You do not see the world raw. You see it through a worldview. That worldview grows from the frameworks you inherit and adopt, and it continues to change as your experience changes.

Worldview

Your sub-culture and choices.

30 Phil, Chapter 7, Heraclitus, Touchstone 17: Worldview.

A worldview is your current knowledge, perspectives, beliefs, and values, which evolves with experience and influences your interpretation of reality and self. Your worldview is comprised of all the frameworks you’ve embraced, and a good place to start your exploration is with the three major ones: language, religion, and philosophy. They give it structure, and your schemas thread through them, acting as filters for how you perceive reality.
