Most people think of themselves to not conform, but more people conform than what many people think of. Research from the Asch Conformity Experiment suggests, people are often much more prone to conform than they believe they might be. Genesis Begins Again is a book made by Alica D Williams that relates to the conformity phenomenon. The book tells of a thirteen-year old girl, Genesis, struggling to fit in. She struggles with the switching of schools, her family problems, and her fitting in, particularly conformity.
In Genesis 6-9 we read about the flood. The main point of this story is that God cares about the world. God is a loving person and he hates corruption.

For instance in the first verses of Genesis it says, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep (1:1,2).”
"The Christian Scripture leaves no room for misinterpretation of the most fundamental concepts, precepts and principles." How about, Genesis 1-11. The whole moral law at Sinai, in which, God publicly testified was sanctifying moral truth, including he created in six days? And Jesus, as truth (Jn 14:6) said he fulfiled to the dot (Matt 5:17-19), and asked the Father to sanctify us in his truth (Jn 17:17). The Father said he sanctified the emerging nation of the Jew in his law (Exod 31:12-18) with very clear instruction (Num 12:1-9).
Genesis 28:22 is the end of a reflection that Jacob had while on a journey back to his father's home in Haran. He stopped for the night in a city called Luz.

Although Jacob had been told of the promise by his father, this dream was a confirmation for him.

As creator of marriage, God said, “Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge” (Hebrews 13:4). This quote explains that husband and wife should be faithful to one another as well as to honor each other in marriage. In The Canterbury Tales, Chaucer uses the horatian satire to depict the institution of marriage.

There were many events that led up to World War Ⅱ and there were also a lot of events that took place during World War Ⅱ. In the beginning, there was a lot of chaos compared to the result in the end.

Genesis 2:24 says, “Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” God created man and woman to be unified, and so to procreate. In Genesis 1:28 it says, “And God blessed them. And God said to the, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” However, marriage isn’t for everyone.
The Family Systems Theory Family systems theory is a framework for understanding families and their strengths and dysfunctions. The strengths identified among family relations can be used to help solve existing problems. The same applies with problems identified.

People within a family are connected emotionally, which affects their overall well being and social relations and behaviour.

It was viewed as a greater harm to society if a woman was to birth an illegitimate child for the action was viewed as a greater moral offense. Girls were required to preserve their virginity until marriage. Afterwards, “it was considered a husband’s duty to ensure his wife’s fidelity by preventing all situations that could awaken her sensuality” (Brabcová 3). Women were not to have sex or have children but as soon as they were married it was expected for them to bear children for the family.
Long, long time ago, the gods decided to develop a brand new form of life into earth. The gods wanted to observe how the villagers would deal with a monstrous and vicious monster in their settlement. One of the gods drizzled greediness into the new life, and another god wanted to make the new life unique so they made it the mother of snakes. All the gods agreed to name her Medusa, and they sent her down to the rusty old planet, earth.
Homo Sapiens have walked on this Earth for over 200,000 years and from the beginning of time to present day we have lived by the idea that we are the single most important thing in this Universe. As we travel further down our evolutionary path and we become more advanced this ideal plants itself firmly within the human population. From the perspective of the entire Universe, the earth is not the most important aspect and resumes to be a speck in our own galactic neighborhood. On Earth, we only carry intrinsic value yet we believe that everything else on the planet was placed here for our well-being. If we look at our surroundings, what we will see is continuous loops and cycles of life that support yet another cycle of life.
