So he made the decision to send in agents, thinking that it’s safe and righteous, to stop Bale. The decision he made was more of a nurture state instead of nature. Gideon learned more from his developing profile for the unsub, studied his behavior and thoughts, trying to figure out what’s the unsub’s next move. Factors such as movement, thoughts, places, and internal/external motives were heavily influenced by the surrounded environment, it was more about physiology and developed psychology rather than biology-related cause of behavior.

    Sinner in the Hands an Angry God In “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”, Jonathan Edwards depicts the Great Awakening in an intense narrative passage.

Using this as well as strong diction, and metaphors, Edwards manages to instill enough terror into the “Sinners” that urges them to redeem themselves.…

    Destiny Cat’s Cradle doesn’t only cast doubt on the usefulness or wisdom of searching for truths, but also the ability of a person to control their own destiny is questioned. Do we create our own meaning or are we just following a path already laid out for us? It seems Vonnegut thinks life is meaningless and that there isn’t a God that sets a path for us to follow. Destiny is not controlled by someone or something more powerful than us but by what the generations before us has provided. “To a striking extent, your overall life chances can be predicted not just from your parents’ status but also from your great-great-great-grandparents’.”…
