On February 25, 2010, as TWC students gathered in Townsend Hall, voices filled the room. In our everyday lives, we hear different types of voices all around us and never really stop to see how the voices are affecting us. Dr. Carol Decker presented us with the question, “What are all the influences a person has in the course of a day?” Voices are not always people; voices that influence us come in many different forms.

In a world filled with money, celebrities, and Facebook, it is hard for today’s generation to imagine a world where, not only are these things nonexistent, but war and atrocious crimes are being committed right outside of many people’s homes. On February 21, 2010, “Invisible Children,” a group based out of San Diego that is focused on ending the war in Uganda, presented Tennessee Wesleyan students with a documentary meant to inspire us all to stand up for our beliefs and take action for others who are less fortunate than ourselves.

The Mortal Instruments was first suggested to me by a younger friend, and I will admit that I was quite reluctant to read it.

Have you ever wondered why history repeats itself? I know I have. I am especially concerned with our government and the path that it is on. This path is not good when it includes the passing of The Health Care Reform Bill and the passed Cap and Trade Bill. The Cap and Trade Bill is a big problem. When you restrict capitalism and the flow of money through an economy, it suffers dramatically. The Health Care Bill will not help the economy either. People are not going to want to give more money to a government that is already taking lots of money from them and not giving them very good benefits to supplement the taken taxes. Now, I know I am biased when it comes to all things political, but I still wonder why people think that socialism is the way for our government to head. Continue Reading »
