CH 9 - Belief

Well this seems to be the latest favorite chapter for us. We had a great discussion on Monday about it. What seems to be the case, in a vast amount of the population, is that people are very quick to jump on "Cause Bandwagons". Why do we do this? What is it about causes that make us want to join them? Does what the cause truly stand for reflect the attraction it produces? In other words, does the passion we see in the cause actually fit the belief of that cause?
Check out these questions we went over Monday...

1. Name some culturally typical, popular, or trendy, beliefs or causes that people have even though they may not know what the cause is really about.

2. Why do you think everyone wants to believe in a cause?

3. Why do people tend to believe someone who appears to be a passionate person?

4. Share your thoughts on our current political situation(s), (presidential/governmental) and how it relates to our discussion.
