  • Compare And Contrast Birch And The Chrysalids

    901 Words  | 4 Pages

    I think the movie Simon Birch and the book The Chrysalids go together extremely well, and really help create a full picture of what it means to be made in the image of God. In both the movie and the book, we see persecution because the way someone was made. Perhaps The Chrysalids more extreme than Simon Birch. In The Chrysalids we see that if anyone differs from what is thought to be “normal” then they are considered blasphemy, and either sent away or even killed. They even had a definition of what a man is, “The definition of man recited itself in my head: ‘and each leg shall be joined twice and have one foot, and each foot five toes, and each toe shall end with a flat nail…’ and so on, until finally: ‘And any creature that shall seem to be human, but is not formed thus is not human.

  • Cosmopolitan Canopy Research Papers

    There are cities, like Philadelphia, that as time passes they start to grow in size and population as a result they have to create recreational places. As years go by, people start to interact more in recreational places until they become a cosmopolitan canopy. According to the book “The Cosmopolitan Canopy: Race and Civility in Everyday Life” by Elijah Anderson, a cosmopolitan canopy is a place that provides opportunities for new relationships to develop and where people come together to socialize and practice getting along with others. In this reading, Anderson also explains that a cosmopolitan canopy is not just created by the place itself or by the diversity of ethnicity, gender, and social class in and around it but also by the “goodwill that is expressed and experienced by most who enter these premises” (Anderson 11). Personally, I agree with Anderson because in order for something to become a cosmopolitan canopy, there has to be difference on the people in it.

  • Factors Affecting Human Behavior

It keeps changing overtime with regards to one’s social experiences and how they have developed as a person from birth through adulthood, although their personality and temperament may be more consistent as those are fairly hard to completely change and refine no matter how much a person wants to or a person should. Those can only be slightly altered so those aspects of their behavior can be found to be more consistent (Brief, 2015). So basically to sum it up, human behavior is the manner in which one conducts themselves which allows others to have an insight into the person’s mind, as to what the person’s attitudes, values, culture and beliefs are as these factors influence the way in which an individual behaves.
