The rest are "accessories," because they are defined by the former three. There are many such schemes that have been proposed. James Sire has a book on h...

When you say, " Everyone's own worldview is "usually" affected "greatly" by the environment they live in ", is there anything else that could affect one's own worldview other than "the environment they live in"?
