  The Bandwagon Effect - How...

  The bandwagon effect is a psychological phenomenon that occurs when people tend to align their opinions, behaviors, or preferences with the majority or popular opinion, often without critically evaluating the subject at hand. This effect is driven by the inherent desire to fit in, avoid conflict, and adhere to social norms. The term "bandwagon" originally emerged in the 19th century, with its roots in political campaigns where politicians would refer to a parade or vehicle that people would literally "jump onto" once it gained popularity. Over time, it evolved to describe the broader tendency to follow the crowd, especially in decision-making processes. 
  The bandwagon effect is grounded in the psychology of conformity, which has been extensively studied. Humans are social beings, and much of our behavior is influenced by the groups we belong to. From childhood, individuals learn to adopt behaviors and opinions based on what is seen as acceptable or desirable within their social circles. This need to belong can be so strong that individuals may forego independent thought in favor of adopting the views of others, even when these views may not align with their personal beliefs or values. 
  One of the primary drivers of the bandwagon effect is the desire for social approval. People often feel that aligning with popular opinion will grant them a sense of acceptance and belonging within a group. Additionally, there is a cognitive bias at play. When individuals perceive that a particular opinion or behavior is widely held, they may believe that it is correct or valid, simply because others hold it. This is closely related to the concept of social proof, where individuals look to others as a guide in uncertain situations. The more people who adopt a certain belief, the more likely others are to follow, creating a cycle of reinforcement.

The book develops the importance of the Wedding Metaphor in understanding the heart and character of God Himself. Additionally, we learn some amazing aspects of the plans and purposes of God regarding the Creation from beginning to the end of time.

Most importantly the book develops a clear view of God's intentions to re-create the Shalom of the Garden of Eden environment in the New Creation to come. ADDITIONAL INFO: This book represents a study of scripture through the consideration of the wedding metaphor. It emphasizes metaphor as a means of "inter-realm" communication.
