Culture Essay: Taboos Of The Mormon Culture

Mormon Culture Eassy

What would you call someone who had 7 surgeries, 30-40 wives, moved 10 times, ran for president, was arrested 6 times in one day, and had over 200 lawsuits? Mormons call him a prophet. A prophet includes a teacher and a proclaimer of the will of God. A person who states they are proclaimer of God should not have over 200 lawsuits and 30-40 wives.

They are all Mormon prophets. In the picture of the first Mormon prophets, they are posing different and some of the men are looking for other ways and the picture of the newest Mormon prophets they are all sitting the same and they are all looking at the camera so you can tell the change in taking group pictures throughout the years.

Mormon prophets and the picture of the most recent picture and put them together and the reason it was created was to show how the prophets changed over the years of the Mormon region.
