Wizard of Oz Worldview

The worldview of the "Wizard of Oz" is obviously Cosmic Humanism. In the beginning of the story Dorothy believes in something higher than herself. Once she takes her long journey to find the wizard she finds out by him that she has had her own power to take herself home. She is finds out that she has the power, and there is no higher being than herself. "God is pointless to the Cosmic Humanist because he does not exist" (taken from W Taylor). Once Dorothy realizes that she can take herself home she thinks she is god and therefore needs nothing above her. Clearly, Cosmic Humanism is the worldview of the "Wizard of Oz."
