What are human beings made of?
Like it says in Genesis 2:7 The Lord God formed a man from the dust of the earth and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” I believe that the soul and the spirit are in the a way similar but also different, I feel like the body is separate from the soul and the spirit because we can control our body and we cannot really control our spirit.

When we think about ourselves, we should remember what God said in Genesis 1:26 Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. We should never forget that God made us so everyone of our faults or flaws god placed in our life, and we should just remember that god made us in his image, not society 's image so we shouldn 't worry about our image that much because God made us in his

    Being composed of body and soul enables us to relate to the Trinity. Composed of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; the Trinity exemplified life on earth through Jesus and life after death exemplified with the Holy Spirit.

Not formed or thought to be anything special, human beings are equivocated to a machine. Which means the way in which we function is determined by physical and chemical processes that occur in the body.…

    In the midst of my youth, perfection meant everything. The sense of inferiority creeped around every corner of my life, the social pressures, the culture pressures, the personal pressures. The issue of self-acceptance began from a young age, as I often used to sit alone in the vast woods behind my house, pondering on the inevitable, ominous thought, am I good enough for the world? With the ideal image of nature surrounding me, I wished I could hold as much beauty and perfection as the world around me. Every green blade of grass swaying, golden leaf falling, every bluejay’s chirp, the colorful rustle of the breeze, they taunt my imperfections and my flaws.…

    Social comparison theory is the idea that people judge themselves based on others for their own validity. The article “A Diary Study of Self-Compassion, Upward Social Comparisons, and Body Image-Related Outcomes”, the movie Mean Girls and my own personal experiences support the theory about how people compare themselves socially. The article demonstrates that social comparison has happened between young Australian university women aged 18-30 years. The experiment had the women do online surveys three times a day at 11am, 3pm, and 7pm, which answered questions such as, “have you compared your weight or shape to that of another individual?”…

    In the movie I, Robot we are introduced to a long debated philosophical question: “What makes a human being human?”. Is the essence of mankind the fact that we are biologically unique among the myriad of different species on this planet? Is it the fact that we seem to have transcended our baser needs in order to try and make the world fit us as opposed to us fitting into the world around us? Is it perhaps that we have what people would call a “soul”? Or is it possibly that we were said to have either evolved from our animal counterparts, the primates, in order to be what we consider better?…
