What drives people to betray. Humans have been sinning and showing signs of jealousy and greed since we've been on this earth. The story of the golden calf shows how greed can get the best of people and cause them to betray. And the story of cain and abel shows how jealousy can turn people even family to betray on one another.
According to the old testament, in the story the golden calf even after god saved them from egypt they were to impatient to wait for god to give them their blessings so instead they made another god shaped like a cow and filled it with gold to get more because they were greedy and wanted as much as they could get. So they betrayed god, so moses went up to tell god to forgive them for their sins but god told moses to

While Moses is up at the Mountain of Sinai receiving the 10 Commandments from God, the people began to become worried. They urged Aaron, their temporary leader, to make an idol because they believed that Moses had either died or left them. As a result, Aaron melted their gold earrings and created a golden calf, which the people began to worship. The Lord of the Flies by George Orwell alludes to the story of the Golden Calf, where the pig’s head served as the “golden-calf”. The pig’s head symbolizes the root of evil and corruption in humanity; sin.
Betrayal is not always for selfish reasons, it is an act of love in some cases First, in the short story “The Scarlet Ibis” the narrator lets himself be driven by pride and selfishness. The short story shows two brothers, a perfectly healthy

Being poor means you barely have enough money for the luxuries in life; you can only afford the absolute necessities in life. Being middle class means you can afford to splurge here and there on luxuries. Being wealthier means you live a life of opulence, and you are not concerned with money in the slightest. I do not live an extravagant live nor do I live a life devoid of luxuries. Most of my significant events in my life do not have money involved in them. Whenever I have money I carelessly splurge it on things I will never come to use or I treat myself to candy with it. I loathe saving money in such a manner it drives me insane whenever I save more than a couple dollars. I choose Katie Nolan for this section because she is the polar opposite
When I was ten years old, I played a lot of soccer, I like basketball now. There were a lot of kids in my neighborhood that played too. We often had matches for things like, a football. I was always cocky and thought I was the best. I won a lot, but when I didn't I got very angry. I always denied it when people called me cocky. I often showed off when I won, so a lot of kids disliked me for that.

I think for a while we’ve all had a sense that there was a problem in our schools. Poor test scores, failing public schools, achievement gaps, all that bad stuff. We know that the Internet has made it impossible for young Americans, people barely eligible to vote while playing the lottery in a strip club, to “grasp that using words they did not write is a serious misdeed.” In other words, we are not good at cheating anymore.
Why are people so dull-witted? People are different, but nobody seems to understand that. Its the weird, creepy, talented, creative, and so-smart-it-is-scary kind of people who make this world shine a little brighter. They do this earth a huge favor by being alive, so why are they being bullied for being different? Maybe because they shine so bright they make the other people seem extremely dull. Being different is a good thing. Who cares what they think? They are all the same. When they are gone they will be easily replaced. When you go, no one will be able to stand where you have stood and say, "It's a perfect fit." Enjoy your time on this earth! Be as creative as you want. Be as weird as you want. If anyone has a problem with it, it is just
You know, you should get your facts straight before you type! I didn't disrespect any family and nobody else was being disrespectful either! They were simply telling me that they understood what I was talking about and that people will do anything to start an argument with me! She also said, she didn't put up with people fighting or insulting her on Facebook, so what she does is un friend them! And I told her that I haven't ever had to delete anybody, but that it was definitely something I'd been thinking about doing lately!
In today’s world, more and more people are becoming disrespectful. Greg Toppo states, “The percentage of respondents who agreed with the statement ‘Students Respect Teachers’ dropped from 79% to 31%.” The statistic should speak for itself. Why is it that only 31% of Americans can say students are respectful to teachers? Why are students becoming so disrespectful? One reason could be attention. Any student wants to look good in front of his or her peers. The best way to be noticed is to be so disrespectful the teacher can’t ignore that student. Someone once said, “People these days gain attention by losing respect.” Unfortunately, this is all too true. However, the blame can’t all be placed on the students. Parents can also be at
When it comes to teaching me how to read, my parents were very impactful. However, not only did they help me learn how to read they are also the main reason I learned how to dislike reading. When I was younger I loved to read, but as time has gone by I have grown to dislike it.
When it comes to trusting other people, we all have had our challenges in life. Trust is a thing that we suppose to have at home, church, and our place of work. Let’s face it we all have to trust someone, even though we may make the term “I don’t trust anyone” but that’s a false statement. One scenario is that we have to trust the drivers on the road everyday, even though we might not know the other driver, I trust that he or she will stay on their side of the road. When you go to a fast food restaurant, you trust that the cooks will prepare your food the way it supposes to be. The term Trustis a positive expectation that another will not through words, action, or decision according to Robbins, P., S., & Judge, A., T., (2009). Most of
In a democratic state, the majority of the population is not always right, so the mistakes it makes set upon society like a storm. And like any other storm, it affects everyone, except those who have a protection against it. In this case, the majority has a protection, an umbrella of laws, while the minority suffers from a cloud of devastation from the storm. Laws in a democratic society serve to protect citizens, or at least they should, and to give them a chance to live under a set of rules that will mold their future; therefore, citizens must have a high respect towards laws. However, under a democratic system, which is mainly a just or a perfect system, exist laws that do not help to mold people’s future, instead
Being conscientious of others ideas is a big goal that I would like to achieve this year. When someone expresses their feelings and ideas about different topics, I usually don’t take their thoughts into consideration. It is very important to take other ideas into consideration, because you never know how much thought they have put into the idea. Most importantly, people have reasons for their ideas. For example, if your coach tells you their play for the basketball game, you shouldn’t question them and call their idea stupid. You should simple just do what they say, and have an open mind about their play. Maybe it will work out.
