Merriam Websters dictionary defines worldview like this:
the way someone thinks about the world
In regard to your prompt, the way that a person thinks about the world and the world around them does change over time. There are plenty of reasons why a person's worldview might change. It could be simple growing up and maturing. The change could be triggered by a major event in a person's life too. In my own experience, my worldview has recently been shaped and changed through a combination of the two listed reasons. I am getting older and more confident with myself, and I am now a father of three kids. I see the world differently than I did before. My priorities have shifted from myself and my job to my kids. I still care about myself and my job, but my attitude about work has changed.
Other things that could shape and change a person's worldview could be education and religion. For example, college had a way of making me realize that I didn't know everything that I thought I knew in high school. It sort of humbled me and the way that I thought about the world. I'm sure 10 years from now, my worldview will be different than it is now regarding certain topics.
