A Flaw in Doctrine
It is a commonly known fact that everyone in this world is different and “special” in their own right. I put special in quotes because it is yet undefined in the church what special is… Is it every Peter Priesthood and Molly Mormon who is perfectly groomed, well-mannered and itching to get married? “Special” in the church is a very hard thing to actually accept. There is a mass conflict between society and church, one of which I will have to side with society in this matter. Society shows many different people (not just a difference in skin) with a different take on the world, with their own ideas and ways of expressing themselves. When people enter into this “BYU bubble” they are immersed in a world with fake blondes, fake smiles and an over-all lack of acceptance of other ideas and temporal appearances.

while I like your opinion ^^ and agree on points within it, It isn't clear to me who you target audience is. Are you talking to BYU students, Mormon parents? The church in general?

ReplyDeleteThat was a good opinion. It is true that people are given their own unique talents, traits, and ideas which differentiate us from each other. I have the same problem with Jack: there doesn't seem to be a direct audience. Some students may attend universities other than BYU that may encounter the same atmosphere you described.
ReplyDeleteBesides that, everything else is looking good!
This is a great observation and the style of writing makes your opinion seem strong. The audience is a bit unclear though. Try making that more clear when you revise, but other than that it is a great introduction.
