In this section, we offer you several vignettes that detail worldviews from many different social identity groups. In most, we offer the perspective as coming from one prominent identity (e.g., gender, race, etc.), but it is important to remember that as individuals we are often coming from multiple identity points at the same time. As mentioned in Chapter 1, intersectionality is an important part of our experiences as individuals, and so nuances exist between the different facets that make us who we are. In thinking about the impact of worldview in the field of multicultural psychology, it becomes important to clarify differences in the way different cultural groups see the world. Depending on our level of exposure to people who differ from us culturally, these different worldviews can be the source of disagreements or tensions when first encountered. There are many pieces of cultural identity that shape our worldview, and the intersection of these identities is influential as well.
