Adam and Eve

Catrina makes an interesting observation noting the irony about the then and now view of clothing from the time of Adam and Eve to now. God looked down at Adam and Eve when they began to cover themselves and now the Queen of England is scolding today’s youth for not covering themselves enough. I notice the lack of the leader’s control in both of these situations rather than the leaders’ objection to the extent of how clothed his or her people are. I find the ‘Adam and Eve scolding’ from God the beginning of the unspoken social rules. Adam and Eve never told God they were going to start wearing clothes but together started a change in the way the society (Adam and Eve) did things. This is the way that human beings interact socially with one another. People are very socially in-tune with one another and when they encounter a situation in which they are unsure of how to behave they look to what the other people around them are doing. In this way a group of people can sometimes change under their leaders nose. It seems that sometimes people need something more tangible to rely on for support and acceptance rather than a leader who is far away or a God that they cannot touch.
