alone. One emerging issue that appears in Higher Education is providing access to spiritual and religious services. Through their college careers, students are faced with internal struggles of identity and meaning. This can be hard to figure out on top of greater forces in their environment such as death, heartache, and adversity. It is important for students to have a set of morals and values to live by to keep focused and persevere through any speed bumps in their collegiate experience and…

The common misconception that science and faith are in constant conflict, each hoping to disprove the other, is prevalent in the minds of so many people today that it has led to the belief that one must be wrong and the other right. Most people would be quick to side with science since they can see the visible signs that science bases its conclusions off of. However, science and faith are not in conflict and neither hopes to disprove the other. Rather science and Christian faith work together in…

The Dreyfus Affair in one of the most notorious trials in France, even still known as the “Affair” today. In 1894, an agent of counterespionage discovered a note, now known as the Bordereau, which included information about a new gun, information about different troops, artillery formation, information about Madagascar movements, and a draft for a firing manual.

There is only one issue: is France still the France of the…

The first stage is dualism, this is where the student feels as if there is a definite right and wrong answer. This can be in the classroom and manifest as a students who is afraid to give an opinion because they feel as if it won’t be right. There is very little thinking for one’s self and the authority figure is considered to always be right. Moving away from dualistic thinking may be a result of losing trust in a respected authority figure or having two respected authority figures disagree.…

Could you believe that an innocent mans life was ruined just because of his religion? The Dreyfus Affair was blatant anti-semitism. An innocent French soldier was convicted for a dreadful crime, just because he was Jewish. It is clear he was only imprisoned as a result of anti-semitism for countless reasons. Firstly, Dreyfus was the only Jew in the French Army. Secondly, there was a lot of anti-semitic statements coming out at this time, displaying that there was influx of anti-semitism in…
