THE FiNAL BL0G.

THIS CLASS HAD TO BE THE MOST INTERESTING ONE I TOOK THIS QUARTER. FROM THE DIFFERENT ARGUMENTS TAUGHT BY DR. DEVITTO, TO BEING ABLE TO SEE THE PERSPECTIVES OF OTHER INDIVIDUALS IN MY CLASS. ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I ENJOYED THIS CLASS SO MUCH WAS BECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO SEE MANY THINGS WITH A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE. IT GAVE ME THE ABILITY TO THINK OF MY REALITIES WITH A DIFFERENT MINDSET. FOR EXAMPLE, DURING THE FIRST WEEKS OF SCHOOL WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE REALITY OF WHAT WE THOUGHT WERE COMMON SENSE, I FELT LIKE THESE QUESTIONS HAD NO BASIS IN REASON, SOON I REALIZED THAT THESE QUESTIONS WERE NEEDED TO HELP TO STIMULATE OUR MINDS IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPTS THAT WOULD ARISE IN THE LATER WEEKS. MANY OF THE CONCEPTS WE DISCUSSED WERE QUITE CONTROVERSIAL, BUT I FOUND THEM TO MAKE ME THINK OF FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES IN A DIFFERENT WAY. TO BE HONEST, THE CONCEPT HAVING TO DO WITH THE PROBLEM OF GOD DID TRIGGER SOME THOUGHTS IN MY HEAD THAT I HAD NEVER THOUGHT OF BEFORE, HOWEVER, DUE TO MY STRONG CHRISTIAN BELIEF THEY DID NOT CHANGE MY BASIC BELIEFS. OVERALL, I HAD A GREAT EXPERIENCE IN THIS CLASS AND AM EXTREMELY HAPPY THAT I WAS ABLE TO TAKE THIS COURSE THIS YEAR.
