The personal fable is the adolescent's belief that he or she is highly special and unlike anyone else who has ever walked the earth. Colloquially, these individuals are known as "special snowflakes." In other words, the adolescent thinks that since others are so obviously fascinated by him (adolescent egocentrism), he must be a unique individual.

Unfortunately, the belief can have serious consequences.

In particular, the personal fable can cause a tween or teen to believe that nothing bad could possibly happen to someone as exceptional as herself. In other words, since she's so special, she must be invulnerable.

Some research has shown that belief in the personal fable and one's invulnerability is directly connected to common adolescent risk-taking behaviors, such as promiscuous or unprotected sex, use of alcohol or illicit drugs, as well as physically dangerous acts, such as driving without a license or driving recklessly or while intoxicated.

Belief in the personal fable should not be confused with having high self-esteem. Tweens or teens with low self-esteem usually still hold a version of the personal fable.

1.How and why did the universe begin?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
I guess the answer is going to be how you look at the question. I believe the God of the universe, who was before time, created the universe. I believe the Bible when it says God created the heavens and the earth and down to the last blade of grass. Some people are very zealous about the creation being done is exactly 6, 24 hr. days. However, the Hebrew words aren't that specific and we really don't know what time was like back then. So, if the scientist want to say it took a million or two for the change to happen, I don't find any problem with that. I do not believe people evolved from some random rodent running around (theory after the monkey theory). God made us - not because he was lonely, or needed someone to manipulate or to feed some ego. God made us because he loved us and wanted us to enjoy his handiwork and to fulfill His plan. However, God did not make man a puppet but gave him free will to make choices. Our job is to help people see what the path to eternal life is, to help others and to show His love to others. With God, we are never alone but if you mean is there life on another planet. That may be one of the great mysteries of life we just don't know yet. Moral laws are not just guidelines you follow if you want to or not. They are laws from God and should govern one's life. God gives us brains to listen to others and discern what is meant. The Bible, God's Word to man, tells us many times we should help the more unfortunate, take care of widows and children, help those in hunger and need. However, the Bible also says those that do not work and are able to should not be given food. God expects the able-bodied people to work for a living and not sponge off of other people just because we are lazy.

Hope this helps you some.

3. How did Darwin's theory of<br> evolution impact the<br> rural-urban divide in America?
oksian1 [2.3K]
Darwin's theory did not just alter political thinking, contributing to fascism, communism and two world wars. It also changed the thinking of huge numbers of people within Western societies. Values based on centuries of Judeo-Christian teaching on the sanctity of marriage and human life in general began to erode. Darwin's theory did not just provide an alternative explanation to the biblical account of creation, it effectively led to doubts on everything in the Bible, including the moral laws.
