Problem/question: Why would seemingly normal individuals decide to join cults such as ‘Heaven’s Gate’? I believe that the topic of cults (such as Heaven’s Gate) is a clear example of Collective Behaviour because the group displays abnormal behaviour and beliefs‚ which are inconsistent with the norms of society. This is coherent with Locher’s definition (Locher‚ 2002‚ pp. 1-2). Schwartz‚ L. L.‚ & Kaslow‚ F. W. (1979). Religious Cults‚ the Individual and the Family. Journal of Marital and Family Therapy

come speak with Mr. Doran as he has a question to ask her. The notion of boarding houses in James Joyce’s writing as open and fluid is not unique to this story. In Julieann Veronica Ulin’s criticism‚ “Fluid Boarders and Naughty Girls: Music‚ Domesticity‚ and Nation in Joyce’s Boarding Houses” she brings to light the idea that the open and transient nature of the boarding house is symbolic of the Irish nation at that time.
