Genesis

In Genesis, It says that G-d created the world in 6 days and its 7th day was a rest day.  Also in Genesis, it talks about how evolution took its form with Adam and Eve and how they were the first two humans on earth who then committed original sin as Eve the temptress tempted Adam to eat from the forbidden tree.  Unlike Genesis, Darwinist believe that the world was created by G-d but the first humans were not made by G-d, but instead natural selection took its course and a Homo homlous turned into a Homo erectus and so on until we get the first homo sapien sapien.  One belives that the first humans were from Africa the other believes that the first humans are from the middle east.  Both conflicting viewpoints, yet which one is right?

Darwin

"Judging from the past, we may safely infer that not one living species will transmit its unaltered likeness to the distant futurity"

This is the concept of natural selection and that the fittest will survive at the end and will give their traits and pass them down to the next generation and the next generation.  We see that the fittest will pass their genes because they will be the ones that survive.  The species that survive are the ones that have the genes that are necessary to live and get away from predators or be able to jump, talk, camouflage, any thing necessary to survive.  In this sentence Darwin is saying that there will always be one species that will be superior to another and thus their will always be a species that will defeat another and pass it down to the next generation.  The trait that will be passed down from the strongest link will be the exact same traits, there will be nothing different about it and thus explains why evolution in the beginning took a long time.

Conformity is a very key aspect in assimilating to a new setting, yet over conformity leads to a loss of morals and a submission of morals to the surrounding neighbors.  My grandma felt this pressure the most when her and her family moved to Los Angeles.  "I would bring jello every time a new neighbor would join the street." This was my grandmothers mind set that everyone had to always bring jello to the new neighbors house.  My grandmother told me that she would see it in the movies so when she arrived, she believed that the american way was to bring jello.  This demonstrated her obsession of trying to be a part of the american life style and dream.  She tried so hard to conform and be a part of the american dream that she lost her own morals and values.  "I would send my daughter to piano classes three times a week for three and a half hours each time, just because the neighbor came to our house one day and told us that this was the right thing to do."  My grandmothers values were taken over by the surrounding neighbors who would tell her to send her daughter to piano classes for 9 hours a week.  This is ridiculous and is not what my grandmother would have done in Iran.  Yet she made my mom go for 9 years to piano class.  This effectively demonstrates the effect of living in the united states and how the pressure to conform to what society expected, took over my grandmothers life.  My grandmother tried too hard to conform and would go above and beyond conformity, and this gave my grandmother different values and morals and ultimately ruined her relationship with her daughter forever.  "I didnt have a child hood, i was stuck on fridays playing piano" Trying too hard to conform will have disastrous consequences.    Conforming to what society expects was extremely difficult for my family immigrating and has had serious consequences to the family bonds and structure.
