Worldview assumptions
Origin: Lat. mundus, vista, supposĭtus
Taken-for-granted assumptions that are embedded in the world view and hence taken as natural and given. In Western culture, such assumptions could include: the desirability of economic growth, nature as a resource, the functionality of short-term thinking and the dominance of instrumental reason.
