Miriam Webster' goes straight to the German roots 'welt-anschauung', to define 'worldview':   "Etymology:  German, from Welt world + Anschauung view : a comprehensive conception or apprehension of the world especially from a specific standpoint ."    In other words,  a worldview is how each of us makes sense of:
1.) ourselves, and
2.) what is outside ourselves (of reality, value, meaning)

        Worldview embraces and reflects the truth that connects reality to self.   Worldview influences thought and action, feeling and future, growing and understanding. It encompasses the interpretation of what was, what is, what will be; it centers on existence (ontology),  becoming (progress),  activity (assumptions that direct action) and how we know what we know (epistomology).   It identifies meaning, purpose and notions of right and wrong -- of 'What I ought to do, and what I most definitely should NOT do' -- morality and/or ethics.  For example, what comprises OUR modern worldview?    

         The Classical Greeks saw a place for religion, tradition, superstition, authority and Destiny (i.e., outside forces control human life) but more and more, the Greeks emphasized personal action, human rationality and responsibility in their Worldview.  This led directly to a unique and influential approach to life. The anthropomorphic Worldview of Homer, who was the 'Teacher of Hellas, came down more on the side of human activity as the center of Worldview, since even the gods are too much like humans to be gods.  The question is one of emphasis and consistency, or not, of the 'majors' (classical drive for excellence, clarity, reason, balance, harmony, order, rational law and politics -- and symmetry -- free of overwhelming emotion especially in terms of the forces that might overcome reason, or of authority/tradition overcoming critical thinking.  In such an exploration and discussion, be clear as you define, delineate, deliver.

       In short:   How does the Worldview of Confucius and Judge Dee (or of India or of the Hebrews) compare and/or contrast with the Western Worldview? Taken the other way, how well do Classical figures like Pericles, Cato and Tiberius support a consistent (Western) Worldview, and how well does that worldview compare (likenesses) or contrast (differences) with the others?

      To complicate matters, we can add the Worldview of an originally Eastern religion -- Hebrew -- that became an integral part of the Western Worldview, as seen in our texts concerning, e.g., Esther or Moses. (Dealing with Christianity -- soon -- adds even more layers of complexity -- or, does Christianity simplify? We shall see.) We can similarly compare the Hebrew Worldview, viably I think, with either the eastern/Confucian or western/Classical, and have a great deal to say. Alternatively or in addition to, we might also consider the Hindu/Buddhist view (Are they even a 'world' view?) So, the question invites the grey cells not only to activate and fire up neurons and to flex glial cells, but also to arrive at some conclusion(s) supported by evidence and reasons. (This last IS the key.)

       To what extent do the elements of one Worldview, seen in the pertinent texts, agree, or not agree, on the big issues of, e.g., reason, education, gender, politics, religion, economics, society, individualism, humanity, morality, aesthetics, etc? Is the      World     Worldview one, or are there many worldviews?  In other words, is World History, as you see the evidence, best characterized by consensus (Comparative School), or contrast (Western School)?  Is Western Civilization unique, or not?  Is Confucian culture a likely partner with the West, or do we see here an inherent Clash of Civilizations?  (for more on this last bit , cf Samuel P. Huntington's book, Clash of Civilizations; also here for expansion on the mid-term.)
