Interfaith's Argument Analysis

Decent Essays
When I discovered that there is an application that deals with Interfaith, I remembered my old philosophy professor discussed the importance of establishing philosophical and ethnic belief on campus. However, he went further to describe his notion as enhancing and engaging spiritual growth of different faith among the campus. Also, the increase of mutual understanding and good relations with other Religious Affiliation is vital on campus. Since, that interaction with my philosophy teacher, which I felt open-mind, appreciation of diversity, and enthusiasm towards the notion, we decided next semester to establish one on campus. However, things fell apart when he decided to resign from his position as a philosopher in Wesleyan College. On the other hand, when I was in my hometown, I spent numerous amounts of time interacting with people from different faith, even when people view one religion as vital than the other by imposing their thoughts and beliefs among one another it becomes problematic. These problems could have led to a fight among different religious group if I did not decide to draw a conclusion to the argument.

    To accurately depict the overarching qualities of Northwestern which I find most intriguing, it is easiest to provide a line from the university’s president, Morton Shapiro, on why the university stands out from their competitors. While emphasizing the school’s motivated approach to maximizing attention toward undergraduate students, Shapiro professed that the school’s “focus on undergrads without losing the identity as a great research institute” is a quality that sets Northwestern apart. This ideal, which is a crucial part of Northwestern’s identity, makes it all the more captivating. In the majority of colleges I have researched during my prodigious quest for the perfect university, I found that their “commitment to every student” was…
