Gideon Cause Of Behavior

Decent Essays
Cause of the behavior He wasn’t expecting a bomb to be inside because he was eager to save the hostage and bring Bale out to justice. 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.…

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’.”…

    The sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” was given by Mr. John Edwards, a well-known minister, during the Great Awakening to a church congregation in hopes of educating them about the horrors of hell and alerting sinners that in order to be saved they need to turn to God for forgiveness. According to Mr. Edward’s beliefs, we as humans do not have the authority to judge a person’s sold or redemption as only God has this sovereignty. One idea that characteristically appears in the work of Edwards is that of human limitation. Mr. Edwards believes in the idea of human limitation and that no man is perfect or incapable of committing a sin, therefore we need to look to God for forgiveness and the opportunity of salvation.…
