Question

Shannon is 15 years old. She has stopped going to church with her family. She does not agree with everything the church preaches. She doesn't understand how her parents still go every weekend, when they don't always practice their religion during the week. Shannon has become able to see the _____ in her parents' lives.

Answer 1

Answer:

Hypocrisy.

Explanation:

Hypocrisy is a term used to identity a person whose beliefs and moral values contradict with his/her actions. To understand a hypocritical phenomenon, one needs to observe if one's words correspond with his/her actions.

When Shannon observed that her parents did not practice their religion on the other days of the week, she stopped going to the church. She questioned what was the purpose of going church only on Sundays if they were to live blatantly on the other days of the week.

She is able to see that hypocrisy in her parents' lives. This is because, though they go to church every Sundays, they don't follow any moral principles on the other days unlike what is being taught in the church.
